Question about mirroring..?

daniel_casimir

Hi, i just started using onshape and am trying to model something, its a crate, so its a box with a sort of texture on the side. Like bars. i figured out how to use linear patterns fine, but how do i get the surface i made from one side of the box to the other? Example: http://i.imgur.com/p9iwwvo.png      how do i mirror one side to another.

The easiest approach would actually be to do a circular pattern to get this on all 4 sides 

Take a look at my approach to your document: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/71ddade4e6487182db82d64a/w/3e3819f5ee4b4fae31e58e74/e/755aeff25fd8a74f3bcaee3e

Please take a look at the differences between part, feature, and face pattern as a face pattern of complex geometry tends to have better performance.

You just need to create a mirror feature

I can get it to work on the right plane (so 2 surfaces have it then) but how do i do the other 2 sides? i tried front plane and i don't see it working.

Your doc is set to view only so we can't edit it for you.  One method may be to use the transform tool to rotate the part 90 deg, with "copy" set then boolean the 2 parts together.
