How can I fix the connections in a bar linkage of a robotic arm assembly exported as an URDF?
Hello, I'm a college student with a robotic project for educational purposes and I'm trying to make a functional URDF file that moves the same way my assembly does, however after I export it as an URDF I see some issues between the revolute mates between the bars in the arm assembly. Since the bars need a revolute mate in…

Extrude
is it possible to extrude a flat rectangle uniformly below a beam that has faces that vary. Think of the side of a flat car. The side beam is a standard height over most of its length. At either end the height changes at an angle down to a lower height. Across the bottom over the entire uneven portion of the beam is a…

Loft creating a negative space of what I need
I'm attempting to create a solid loft with a conical surface, starting from a recessed central hole and splaying out to a larger forward oval. I've tried lofting using the floor and rim of the cavity as the references, but I get the error message about closed loops. When I create a surface spanning both holes and loft from…

Connecting two extruded sketches
Hi New to onshape and just trying to get familiar with some key concepts - I'm struggling to connect two extruded sketches I can see that one extrusion is grey and the other is blue - I presume that this means they are not connected and therefore when I try to fillet the cylinder wall, it can't resolve. I'd like the blue…

"Use" command in a sketch does not update after upstream changes
I have a part studio that has a body that is a composite of multiple bodies (all defined from the start in Onshape in this feature tree). After the Boolean, I select a face that spans across what used to be multiple bodies and start a sketch. I click the "use" command to convert the edge bounds of that face to a sketch,…

Angled corner profile
Hello, I'm trying to make a 45 degree corner profile. The problem I'm facing is that I have to turn and rotate each side of the profile and add an extrusion at an angle and I'm not sure what's the best instrument to achieve this. So far I did this using the draft: but I need both profile sides to be at the angle 45 degrees…

Issue Filleting Wing(Loft) to Fuselage(Loft).
Hello, I'm having trouble adding a fillet between the Wings and Fuselage in this Project. I can't choose a radius even remotely close to what im after. I would like to add maybe 10 to 15 mm but whenever I try to fillet with more than 1 mm it fails. Creating a 0.5 mm fillet works. A 1mm Fillet prompts the error: "Fillet…

I still need help understanding the scope of variable tables, variable studios, etc.
My basic goal is this: I have a document with a variable studio and a number of part studios. (In this case, they are various separate trays of an insert for storing a board game.) I want to create a new document describing a new insert system for a different game. Many of the components are similar in form, but not in the…

NVIDIA Isaac Sim: Import from Onshape - flips all rotational mates
I created an assembly of a robot hand. Defined all mates with limits and everything looks good for now: But when I use "Import from Onshape" in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, all rotational joints are turning in the wrong direction. It is like the joints are flipped during the import. Does anyone know a way to correct this? Of course I…
