@dominique_michel, is the silhouette available if you select the Use command first and then hover over the face? See https://cad.onshape.com/help/#sketch-tools-use.htm?Highlight=silhouette. In particular you cannot add silhouettes by selecting the face first and then using, you need to use the post-select method. If you can't add the silhouette in any way with use then I would suggest submitting a ticket to support so they can look into it.

I've noticed this too. There are some cases were you can select something then hit "use" and it works, then other times it fails and you need to hit "use" first, then select the item.

Sorry I see it works with "intersect" but would be simpler with only one "Convert" command for all projectable entities
