Why is the top not parallel with the side all around.
I noticed the side rails of the ladder weren't plum. I set the sketch for the side rails parallel to the plane of the top edge of the tank and centered with the origin. This also reared it's ugly head with the top, it also showed an offset in the horizontal plane - it too is parallel with the top of the tank and…

Problem with the extrusion command
Hello everyone, I'm newbie of Onshepe, that I found amazing. Today I want modelling a bicycle pedal, but I have a problem with one extrusion. can anyone explain why I am getting this error? I created the pedal and then a slot where you see it, needing to extrude it by two millimetres (this would be the reflector that is…

Why can't I extrude this face?
Took a short recording of my attempt to Extrude a face that was just created using Thicken: As you can see there, I can select the face (and it's called a "face") when I don't have Extrude selected, but can't select the face when setting up an Extrude. I don't see any particular indication that the face or part is…

Custom Feature: Chamfillet
Link to Feature A common problem with 3d printed models (FDM) is that a fillet on the build plate ends up looking ugly because the printer cannot print a horizontal overhang. Usually, if you are designing a 3d printed part, you then use a chamfer on the bottom face because most FDM printers can print at least a 45 degree…

Export Part With Color

What's wrong with my pack and go zip file?
Just learning Onshape and this is likely an operator error, but help would be appreciated. I'm attempting to upload some Solidworks assemblies.

Custom Feature: Triad Transform
-Link to feature up front- Onshape's vanilla transform feature doesn't give you those nice buttery smooth rotation handles to play with like the assembly tabs do, which is a shame because some of the most aesthetically pleasing structures aren't confined to the bounds of XYZ coordinates. I mean look at these crystal…

Is there an easy way to achieve this plane?
So I see that the tangent plane feature seems to only work with cylinders which seems quite limited. I would love to get a tangent plane to a general curved surface. It seems like if I make a minimum bounding cylinder, make the plane around that, then suppress that part I could get the desired plane, but I also cannot…

Using Variables in text
I could not get text to work at all with a #variable. I tried for over an hour, but nothing worked. My goal is to emboss a text string that includes a single dimension of the part onto a face, such as "Cube Height is #Height inches". It only works as a simple text string, but I want to update the text automatically when…

Why are the axes of a mate connector labeled "Primary" and "Secondary" rather than Z or X?
I was in a situation where I was creating a mate connector relative to an x,y,z axis system that was part of an imported file. The import had three curves labeled as X axis, Y axis, and Z axis at the origin. So I selected the origin for the MC, then I wanted to align the Z axis of the MC with the labelled Z axis of the…

Hey everyone, I’m a mechanical engineer, and I’ve been working with FeatureScript at my company for about a year now. Honestly, it’s been tough. Tools like ChatGPT suck at FeatureScript, which is frustrating when you know how useful they are for more familiar languages like JavaScript or Python. Unless you're a…

Centering DXF on face
Hey! My goal is to put an image on a face and remove-extrude it. For this, I have an SVG file that I have converted into DXF. The problem happens after importing the DXF, when I try to center it on the face. Adding a dimension between any part of the image and a point on my object causes the lines of the image to break…

Sheet Metal Cutout Tab
Is it possible to "pull" a tab out of a flange? I want the red highlighted sketch to become a tab where it's material is cut out of the yellow outlined flange.

Classify Onshape Standard Content in FS?
Hi everyone, is there a way of creating a query to determine if a part is Onshape standard content in FS?

However, the vertices are not constrained together…
