Surfaces Won't Turn Solid
Hi, I am relatively inexperienced with working with surfaces in Onshape, and have ran into problems when trying to make them solid parts. I am designing a logo that uses hundreds of surface lofts to enclose the top and bottom plates, but the enclose tool doesn't work for me and I run into issues in many of the surfaces…

Is this a BUG or a weird unexpected operation [Hollow walls after SPLITting]
Using Split after Hollowing a box creates hollow, not solid walls I created a cubic box. Then hollowed it leaving 3mm walls. I then split the box to create a box and a lid. I later noticed via the Sections view that the box wall is NOT solid but has hollow space in it. Through investigation, I see that it is the SPLIT…

Maintaining a stable body id when copying flat pattern body into standard part studio edit space
I have a feature that contains an option which allows the user to copy the flat pattern of a sheet metal part into the standard part studio editing space. The problem I have been having is, any time the part studio is edited and a new feature is added or removed which interacts with the parent sheet metal body, the flat…

Assembly Workflow Tips
Building a custom computer case and want to design around components that I've modeled and linked up in an assembly. Tried to derive the assembly into the chassis part studio, but only saw other part studios in the derived tool. What am I missing? Any tips on the proper workflow for building around real-life components…

New Feature: Braided Curve
Hey all! Wanted to model some braided wires for fun, and couldn't find a custom feature to generate the braid paths. Slapped one together real quick, snag it here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e522ae0e05eda848c8b5a692 Eventually I'll add options for more than 3 strands (right now the logic is all kinda hard-coded for…

I am doing the tutorial where you use loft to create a funnel and can't get sketch 2 to work
When I create the offset of 0.05" for the ellipse on the lower surface plane of the rim and handle (step 4), I get a gray ellipse offset as expected inside of the rim, but with gray (nothing) filling the space between the rim and new ellipse. In the tutorial illustration, however the space between that ellipse is blue,…

Now the issue I'm having is that above around 10.000 generated parts, Onshape becomes rather hard to…

Move a sketch to a new plane
I have a design where my sketch is on the wrong face of the extruded solid. Because it's on the wrong side, the holes are going the wrong way. It seems like the thing to do is to create a plane on the face where I want my sketch, then move the sketch to that plane, then recreate my screw holes. However, when I go to change…

Gear Lab - Cylindrical, Bevel, Face Gears
Yup, it's another custom feature for gears. I had previously used Neil Cooke's excellent 'Spur Gear' feature [Link], but I wanted the ability to generate bevel and face gears as well. I only learned about Bob Tipton's great bevel gear FS after I had nearly finished this. I fear that my "Gear Lab" custom feature is largely…

opSplitFailing for some reason
Hello, I cannot figure out this error. It is a relatively simple bit of code. I can see that the bodies variable is a valid body (using debug entities) Additionally, I can split using the planes created using opPlane. The error is: @opSplitPart : SPLIT_SELECT_TARGETS Code: FeatureScript 2960; import(path :…

"Simple" Beginner Loft Question -- Why is it twisted?
I've created a simple OnShape document. It's a cylinder. A few millimeters above the cylinder is an offset plane. Drawn on that offset plane is a rectangle. The rectangle is extruded 25mm. What we end up with is a box floating above the cylinder. Now… I want to make a Loft that joins the bottom of the box to the top of the…

Featurescript UI Question
Hello everyone. This is my first featurescript. I am attempting to expand on @jeff_brown304 's Camel project, by making an improved CAM drill tool. The intent is to have the user select a cylindrical hole surface, and subsequently unhide portions of the UI that correspond to different features that the hole may have. For…

BOM columns: Possible to add XYZ-Dimension of a part?
When preparing production, I usually get asked how much material will approximately be needed. In my old CAD system, I had the opportunity to add a column to the BOM to display the XYZ-Dimensions of every part which, even if not 100% accurate for irregularily shaped parts, helped a lot with the estimation. The shop could…

Internal Threads
Awesome to see the new "External Threads" feature! But....I have been using for years a community-provided featurescript tool called "Thread Creator" as my standard for internal threads. (There are a couple of issues with it) the principal one being is that it is VERY slow. Anyway - is there an "anointed" or "standard"…

How to resolve what seems to be a currupt file.
I've been working on this project all week without an issue. I went to open the studio this morning to find the file completely fractured and distorted. I've tried rolling back and forth, which initially solved the issue within the individual part studios, but later reverted back and wouldn't resolve the issue within the…

Can't select shapes on sketch after creating them

large cursor offset
Hello, maybe there is a stupid mistake I make, but I have a large horizontal offset of my cursor. This means, if I want to select a point, I need to place my cursor a few centimeters left to the point I want to select...
