Importing Leica 3D Disto Scan Data
Hello, I work for a custom metal fabrication shop that specializes in staircases and steel cladding. We use a Leica 3D Disto Scanning tool to survey spaces that we'll be building in. This software allows us to import locations in space and planes to base our fabrication model off of. We typically design in Solidworks, but…

Help with reshaping an extruded face of a part.
Hi all. Absolute beginner here so apologies if my explanation is poor. Someone in my car club encouraged me to have a crack at designing my intake as I cant get anything off the shelf. I'm in over my head! But I'm actually pretty close to what I want, I'm just stuck on reshaping an extrusion I made. It may be the way I…

some featurescript questions
How do I return a point where a plane intersects a curve? I'm doing multiple transforms on a curve, but some transforms are optional. I found it confusing to keep multiplying transforms to build one big final transform, so I want to split it up into steps. I referred to the result of the first transform with qcreatedby,…

Fillet complex edges
I tried to play with all the fillet settings but every time I get "Failed to fillet selection". Is the edge too complex or is there something I can do about it ? https://cad.onshape.com/documents/bb9851701a3259f36f4e83d3/w/4483d68b3189e9ac45192c39/e/1c6fecdba5456901fa7840d1

Featurescript – Fillet a sheet metal part using edges attribute
Hello there ! I’d like to be able to fillet sheet metal parts corners through Featurescript, using the attribute of edges. For the moment, I managed to create fillets like so : Select the edge using annotation { "Name" : "My Query", "Filter" : EntityType.EDGE, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 } definition.entitiesHomemade is Query;…

How to delete a tab folder?

How to set a rectangular tube on the midline of a cylinder.

Poor connection warning when on correct AWS region, good latency (29ms) and strong connection?
Hi All First question! New to Onshape, CAD for 30 years and not an IT expert. Dabbled with Onshape on an old tablet (wifi at home) and found it to be quick and responsive. Then bought a new desktop PC and found the desktop variant slow ad unresponsive :( I have a "poor connection" warning often and overall the experience…

How to animate a compliant mechanism in Assembly
Hello everyone, I have been using compliant mechanisms in my designs recently and have found that they are very useful. I need some way to look at how the mechanism will bend. I think a simulator might be better at this but I'm not sure. Help would be appreciated! Thanks

How can I make a hole only affect a single part in a part studio?
Should be a simple answer but I'm having a bit of trouble here. Basically I have a small box shaped feature on a part with another part that is a sort of lid fastened with four screws. The lid needs clearance holes for the screw but the box part is going to have threads. I've used booleans and things before and there is a…

How should I turn surfaces to solids?
I recently learned that I could fabricate car body panels out of 3d printed molds, and I really wanted to try it since the school I go to has many 3d printers, I figured by the time I graduate I could have One of my dream cars. So I got to work trying to find Cad models of a c2 Corvette, I found one and started gutting…

How do I get the endpoints of a curve?
I want to have point1 and point2 default to the endpoints of the already selected curve. but if someone picks new points explicitly, it will use those chosen points.

REST API - Exporting to STEP works, but exporting to OBJ does not

How to pass form data body in Onshape API endpoint using python?
Hi! I am trying to use this endpoint in python, but every time I get the 400 status code. I suspect the problem is that I am sending the request body incorrectly. I tried quite a few options on how I could send the file, then I got to the simplest option and still failed. The simplest option I am talking about: files =…

Yet Another Non-Manifold Body Problem
I have to be honest, when it comes to body related problems, I much prefer the three-body problem over the non-manifold body problem. In fact, I'd even take indigestion in my flimsy mortal body over this non-manifold body I'm facing. Here's the sketch:…

Help making this watertight!
This is the second version of this design, the first one ran great with no issues, after replicating the same steps, this version is not watertight and impossible to print. Can't find the problem, please help! https://cad.onshape.com/documents/74dc11c2feb8bd9bf4dab739/w/2f8eb9e2e5814f749c89545d/e/aedd5cc0bbd13e655332853b

What does Fully Defined mean?
I have been using Onshape for just a few weeks. Help me understand what is the downside of leaving sketches not fully defined.

Just to confirm, you can't write featurescripts that are accessible within a sketch, right?
It would be really nice to have non-proportional scaling of sketch elements such as curves. This is an essential tool for proper surfacing (I was a surface modeler for Honda) Good highlights come from good surfaces, good surfaces come from good curves, and good curves are "related" to each other. For example, the…

Replicate breaking mates
Hey, So I've built some assemblies and they work fine. The parts have zero freedom in the assembly and are all located as I want them to. Then I put that assembly into a higher assembly and it works, it looks great, everything in the initial instance is in the right place but then I replicate it and the replications have…

Drawing lines to a part edge
Hi, Referring to this image: The blue lines were manually drawn and it's these that I'm trying to create in FS. The red line was also manually created to give a centre point and path for a coordinate system with origin at the midpoint of the vertical edge. The white line is generated by my FS. My code is as follows:…

Why can I not create the combination of these 2 mates
I can do the "Slider" mate, or I can do the "revolute" mate, and on their own, they both work fine. But as soon as I try and do both mates, Onshape tells me that I cannot do this. I'm pretty new to this so maybe it's common sense that I can't do this, but I was able to do it in solid works and it worked just fine. Thanks…
