How to create a low-poly object in Onshape

I would like to create these types of low poly shape in Onshape. It seems difficult to model because all of the faces point in random directions. Any help would be accepted. Thanks!

    Here is one approach you might try:
    • Sketch the base
    • Sketch front plane points (or another custom plane)
    • Sketch side plane points (or another custom plane)
    • Fit spline one line at a time
    • Fill each triangle
    • Fill the base
    • Shell the faces that you want to be left open
    If you do these kinds of parts a lot, consider having a custom feature made for this.

    check out the Convex Polyhedron feature by @konstantin_shiriazdanov.

    Also, a note for the workflow above: you can loft a straight line to a point, and skip the splines, since you can use the edge of the loft before. (pro tip: Usually, this would make your UV curves all converge at the point, but since it's planar, Onshape recognizes that builds it as a trimmed rectangle).
