Extrude depth angle
Recently discovered Onshape and I'm relly liking this "cloud CAD" concept.
I'm stock in this project. Trying to create a gym plate but can't figure out hout to extrude so the dept or height of the sketch is not regular in the whole piece which I'm assuming could be achieved by giving an "angle" to the extrude fuction. Pictures for reference. Thanks in advance

I think what you need is 'Draft' which is an option in the Extrude Dialogue window. Click the curved arrow to reverse the result

Hello Angelo. Perhaps you also want the ribs to be sloped. This document uses a profile for the rib and a circular pattern of it's extrude to do that. In a different approach, the body of the plate is created with a Revolve rather than extrudes. Have fun creating with Onshape. - Scotty

The ribs tool was useful the design now looks very similar to what I pictured in my head, can still play with the fillets/chamfers to change it a little bit but I´m pretty okay with it so far
