Default primary planes Top/ Front/ Right measure 150mm - Can FScript be used to edit that number?
So, default planes of a new Part Studio are square with a side measuring 150mm. If you want to model something bigger, and need them to be larger, then you need to do that manually for some reason. I'm guessing that the reason for this is that there are some things/numbers that a custom FeatureScript cannot access. Is this…

Best Workflow for Symmetric Assemblies
I'm working on an assembly that has planar symmetry without mirroring, i.e. all the parts on the left are the same on the right, with each part the same distance from the center as its twin. I tried linear patterns, but every distance is different, and I need to change two different dimensions to move both parts. Symmetry…

Custom Feature: Tweep
-Link to feature up front- Look, standard sweeps are boring. They have no drama. They have no torque. They just follow the path like a good little obedient feature. I got tired of it. So I made Tweep. It’s a Sweep. It Twists. It’s Tweep. Do you want your geometry to look like a churro that gave up on life? Do you need a…

Constrain a DXF
I've imported a DXF; a three-view of an airplane. To be able to draw a geometry i three dimensions i need to freeze the DXF in size and constrain all elements within it so that I can use the same DXF on all three planes and maintain correlation between the views. Is there a way to do this? ChatGPT suggested making a block…

Different width of the wall with smooth transition
Good day! I'm trying to do thicker wall on the botton of the cylinder, tried it with move face, but it is just even face offset, is there a way to add width with fall off? For now used move face and removed the step with bevel, it is looking ugly but somewhat a workaround, but maybe there is a cleaner solution? The overall…

How to make a Curved Part from three Sketches?
So, i am designing something and am probably way overcomplicating things, but i'd like a nice curvature on the Part.

I've tried Sweeping it, but there i either do not get the desired shape or the Sweep intersects itself…

Recommended approach for finding which face of a solid a sketch was created on?
Hello, In my use of FeatureScript, I have a fairly common need to do the following: given an edge and a solid object, identify which face of the solid the edge lies on (if any). I'm wondering generally what is the best approach to take for this. This has come up in several contexts, but to come up with a simplified…
