How to create an irregular shape
ProApe
Member Posts: 209 ✭✭
Hello,
How can I modify the beard that serves as the landing place for this birdhouse so that the front is not a flat vertical surface, but rather an irregular shape, with the bottom point 10 mm away from the rear surface and the top line also running irregularly vertically, i.e. how can I shape this part as I see fit?
Kind regards
ProApe

Not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish, but maybe a loft?
You can use any normal editing tools.

That's not bad, but I'd like it to be even more irregular if possible, so that the edges of the front face disappear.
Years ago, I tried my hand at Blender, where I could remodel parts of surfaces however I wanted. Isn't that possible in Onshape?
Onshape has extensive surfacing capabilities. Different approach than Blender, but powerful. It might be fun to dive into the curves and surfaces self-paced courses in the Onshape Learning Center.
Or use a fillet.
A fillet didn't work. That was the first thing I tried.
I'll try to find the course that explains how to proceed.
What I'd really like is to get back to working on my Edit Surface feature to be able to do B spline surface sculpting in 3d. Unless @GregBrown gets there first, I'm sure his implementation will be cleaner than mine.
