In context part studios - master modelling technique.. Design assembly - parts not fixed in space?
Hello, forgive me but moving from creo, solidworks etc to Onshape. Trying to do master modelling design for a project that we have - industrial designer creates the surface reference file and i create a new top level assembly with these REFs in place. I then create seperate parts and edit in context to take the surfaces…

Best way to set up "configurations" with large numbers of feature differences
Hello! I am trying to set up a 3D printed box that the base features are the same and "linked" but there quite a few features between 3 different versions that are dissimilar. Originally I made the first box and then duplicated and changed as needed. Later I found out one of the features common to all 3 were incorrect. I…

New FeatureScript: Engineering Grid
Hi everyone, So I made my own ISO grid featurescript. I tried out the other two feature scripts that can create isogrid patterns, and I found that Julia's is fast but rudimentary, and Evan Reese's is immensely powerful but slightly slower than I would like, and is missing a couple of features I wanted. Of course, the next…

Help with a loft please.
Hi, I really don't get the concepts of lofts mostly! As soon as they get a bit complex I spend days trying to figure out what went wrong! This time, I'm only a day in so thought I would put up my hand. I am working on a measured drawing of an historical boat model from the original (shipwright's) loft. I effectively have a…
