Extrude at an angle

daniel_chow · October 2017

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone know how to extrude at a 90 degree angle from one sketch to a second sketch that are 90 degrees of each other.

Here is my public doc:

Thanks!

Thanks guys! Yes I tried various features in Extrude and Loft but not able to do this. I know I can set another plane and simply sketch the triangular shape I want and extrude it. But you know, bring Onshape I just thought there might be a quick workaround.

Jake, I did also try the rib tool, but I'll take your suggestion and try it again. How did you make Sketch 3 on an incline / angle like that without creating an angled plane?

Onshape rocks!!!

I actually got it to work with a loft too, you just have to provide a couple guide vertices:

hi, try Loft between these sections

Loft won't work because the bottom of the vertical sketch is on the same plane as the horizontal sketch.

If you're just looking to do a gusset you can do it this way. But I'm not really sure what shape you're trying to achieve.

this is rather unexpected behavior

not really, the loft doesn't like overlapping planer vertices. You're essentially telling it to connect 4 points to only two.

Loft works fine if you bring the vertical sketch off the bottom face.

have you tried the "Rib" feature?

Thank you Jake I got it! See I knew there was an efficient way of doing this in Onshape!
