Drawing a 3D curved wedge

rachel_feeny

I'm relatively new to onshape, and am struggling to draw a particular feature in my part. I need a curved wedge that follows the curvature of two circles (one defining the inner diameter, one defining the outer diameter).

I am able to draw a rectangular wedge (looks like a doorstop), but am unable to make a curved/circular version. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you!

Hi Rachel,

I'm a little confused about what you're trying to do.  If you draw a sketch like this:

you could extrude a single face of it to get a curved wedge like this:


But if I completely missed what you were asking, could you draw something in another program (like MS Paint) and post a screenshot here?

Based on your description I've taken a guess at what you are looking for. Take a look here:

If this is what you are looking for and need some help understanding how it works let me know and I can explain it a bit.
