"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.

BOM columns: Possible to add XYZ-Dimension of a part?
When preparing production, I usually get asked how much material will approximately be needed.

The shop could…

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.

Custom Feature: Gridfinity Parametric Generator
Hi!
