What is the trigger to get out of the "approval required" category?
It's been 7 years a few weeks that I have been trying to get out of the "approval needed" category (where my questions are not published). Is there something specific I need to do to make this happen?

Exercise window is collapsed - possible bug?
Hi everyone, Going through the 'Introduction to Part Studios' course in the learning center, the exercises in both section 7 (Funnel) and section 9 (Rocket Guidance Reflector) seem to be 'collapsed' so that the images cannot be seen and the text appears only one line at a time (see below). I have tried to refresh the page,…

trying to make a ledge to drop lenses into on curved glasses
Hello, I am trying to make a pair of glasses for a puppet. I have modelled the frame, and used the sweep feature to create the curvature, but now I am stumped trying to make a ledge inside each eye hole for a 3D printed lens (made separately) to be glued into. I want the ledge to come out 1mm from the edge and be recessed…

Tapered Cylinder
I'm new to OnShape and to CAD drawing in general. Trying to make what I know is a simple shape but having a very hard time figuring out how. I've been watching video tutorials on YouTube and taking the in-built tutorials but still can't find quite what I'm looking for. All I want is a tapered cylinder (or a truncated…

Extrude to a varied depth
Hi, Just wondering if this is possible.. so say I sketch a simple rectangle, when I extrude it solid, I get to choose depth of the extrude (default 25) but I would like 1 end of the extrude to go the 25mm, but the opposite end to only go to say 10mm depth. I tried the draft option, but it tapers in the edge and not the…

Sketches not fully defined and I... admittedly don't understand constraints yet.
Okay, I'm at a loss for what I'm doing wrong here in that my sketches aren't fully defined. I get that it has something to do with constraints and possibly mate connectors, but I have no idea what I have to do to fix it. I see all kinds of discussions on WHY parts need to be fully defined, etc., but I'm finding exactly…

How can I fix this tangent intersection and fill it?
I've been having problems with this when using face blends and went to try to loft it but I'm not sure how to fill the blue surface to make a solid. I'm not familiar with surfaces at all and help would be very appreciated.

The old belt drive thing again
I found a few public FS that can calculate the length of a belt, given the pulleys and their distance. That's nice, and here's to the people who wrote these, but it leaves me trying and tweaking untiI get to a combination of pulleys and belt I can actually buy. Also, at least two of the FS I found and tried ask for the…

sweep not possible on one of my two curves
Hi I created two curves using the spiral tool on a revolved surface. The projection of the curve on the surface of my solid worked and I was able to create one sweep. My second sweep shows me some red points tough. I do not understand what they want to tell me and how to find out what I need to create my sweep the way I…

Doing a reverse fillet on a curved edge
I just started learning CAD and I am currently working on a part that needs a reverse fillet. I already looked for answers on the forum and reddit, but all the ones I found worked by just removing a certain shape (e.g. a circle) from the edge, wich only works with straight parts. In my case I need that reverse fillet…

Hole Center Marks
Is there a way to completely get rid of the hole center marks that come in with view. I tried the drawing properties "Extended lines" but it still leaves the annoying mark in the center. I am trying to make clean bolt hole circles like the ones in Solid Work (last pic. below).

Newbie Needs help with the Basics, Spline Tool, Importing Coordinates
Hi, I have some coordinates for a hull I'm trying to build in OnShape. Spline tool was recommended, but I can't figure out how to import the coordinates, much less even use the tool. I made a point at an incorrect spot and couldn't even figure out to go back (No Command Z?!), is there a back arrow I'm missing? So I need…

Can you add a point/vertex to an existing sketch? (Trying to fix a twisting loft)
Hello everyone, I have what I assume to be a very beginner question that I think might have come up here before but that I was not able to get a definitive answer to this question. In brief terms, I have drawn two sketches of two different trim profiles that I want to connect to a 3d mesh blending from one shape to the…

Free Form Deform Sandbox
Lazy post this time because this is not really a feature. More like the concept of a feature. The people yearn for generalized object deformation in Onshape and I recently vibe coded up some core utilities that can offer a solution in that space but it's real rough stuff at the moment and y'all are gonna be waiting some…

Aligning Sketches
Hi, I have done a lot of research on this, found many different answers and can't help but think i'm missing something blindingly obvious. I want to duplicate a sketch so that I can loft between them and alter the second sketch as needed. However, when I copy and paste or 'use' the first sketch , the resulting sketch does…

I want to learn about NURBS mathematics to better use Feature script. Where do I start?
NURBS (Non-uniform rational B-spline) is the square patch surface definition logic that the onshape modelling environment is based on. I want to be able to tap into that power with featurescript so that I'm not creating, analysing and deleting topology just to get some information. For example I would like to be able to…

Featurescript / app to generate SVG for CNC
Hi, Sorry if this has been covered, I'm looking to create the OnShape equivalent to https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=3662665235866169729 for Fusion 360. There's a use case to be able to export SVGs of a set of 2D faces for CNC machines (Shaper Origin, laser cutters, etc). My rough idea is to have a…

Is there any way to use mesh or a 3d scan as reference?
When importing actual 3d scans and not phone scans, this ones are quite detailed, and have over 2M polygons. The issue comes when the feature of onshape auto snaps over every single polygon, wich makes onshape unusable (huge lag) even with a beefy pc. Is there a way to use a mesh as a reference, kind of like an 3d image…

Learning Centre - Jack Hammer Gear Cover
To finish this exercise you are to achieve 0.445kg mass. I was only able to achieve 0.423kg mass. The closest answer for me to choose from was 0.432kg mass on the test so I chose it and was awarded an incorrect answer. However on examination of the Onshape build found that the back two holes didn't penetrate the Cover…
