Can't extrude sketch
Josy_La
Member Posts: 82 ✭✭
I imported a shape from cad and inserted into a sketch. Obviously the shape is not fully "closed" because I have no areas to select for extrude. Is there a tool in Onshape to check where loop is opened? The sketch is not simple and reconstraining it would take for ever.

Currently there is no way to reconstrain a sketch upon uploading. However, if you encounter issues with sketches again please file a bug report using the feedback tool help --> feedback.Tim Rice | User Experience | Support

@Josy_La,Currently this facility is not available in Onshape. You can raise improvement request for this. In near future we hope that this facility will be provided by Onshape. till time you can use below video workaround. in that with the help of line creation user can identify open and closed loop. Open loop shown in white color and closed loop shown in gray color.

Thanks Viru! I will spend some time on my shape geometry to locate and close loops.5

On a parallel issue... Why does Onshape screw up the original cad sketch? I looks to be imported perfectly as shown on tab. But at insertion in sketch sometimes fillets are inverted creating a weird shape.0
