Parametric Curve Extrude.

ethan_ofondoethan_ofondo Member Posts: 3
Hi, 
I have been using the Parametric Curve Feature Script, but I can't seem to use the curves for anything useful in my model. 
For example, I cannot extrude a plane from the curve, or use multiple curves to define an area to extrude on an existing surface.

Below is a screenshot of what I am trying to do. I have two equation-driven curves that have been defined in the x-y plane, where the z coordinate matches that of the extruded surface that is visible. I am now trying to remove material between the two curves. Any suggestions?

    Hi Ethan, you'll need to create a new sketch and "use" those curves, then close your sketch in order to extrude/remove the hobbed area. Alternatively, you could just use the spur gear feature ;)

    Yep, what @NeilCooke said. Onshape won't extrude from a 3D spline/edge, and curves generated with the featurescript are considered 3D splines, even if they are flat/planar.
