Adding an offset lip along the shell
Hi I am trying to add a lip to the case of a macro pad thing that I am trying to build. Basically it has 3 parts a case, midplate that will be sandwiched between and a bottom plate. I am having problems creating the "lip" that midplate will sit on.…

linear pattern direction
hey guys , i am having some trouble with how my linear pattern is generating in a way i cant understand. the feature is in early stages, but the point at this stage is to select a 2d face to run a set of rectangular load bars either along an x or y direction . using a bounding box to get the length of the bars as the shape…

Boolean Union operation to preserve holes from both tools
My first time trying this. I have two parts which are essentially flat plates (made from 3D scans of a transmission face and a transfer case face). I initially tried to insert both parts into an assembly and revolute mate them on a common center hole. But my CAM slicer didn't see them as a manifold so wouldn't slice them.…

Help with make a change to my model
hello all. I would greatly appreciate help to make a tweak to an external fuel pressure regulator I have been designing for my car. The FPR mounts to an available mounting spot on my intake manifold. I have managed to get everything in the correct locations and am stuck on one last part. I would like to rotate the side the…

How do I rotate the sheet 90° in a drawing?
Do to the shape of some parts, sometimes it appropriate to use a sheet in vertical (portrait) mode. Is there a way to do this with onshape?

Inserting bounding box dimensions into BOM

Mate overdefines assembly
Hey there, so I have this project that I'm working on, and for it, I need to do a system with bellcranks and pushrods. The thing here is that the measurements for the pushrod seem to be perfectly fine and to not have any issue whatsoever, but I'm getting the error that the revolute mate I'm using overdefines the assembly.…

Deleting points?
Can points be deleted (without nuking the entire sketch)? How? Particularly when removing, or trimming old lines (with the 'trim' tool), I'm often left with vestigial sketch points (from the 'point' tool) all over the place.

Problem unsubscribing from apps
Hi, I am subscribed to upchain and OnScale Solve applications (did it two years ago). Apps are no longer accessable and the problem is that they are still listed as my subscribed appas, but if I select it and try to unsubscribe I am getting a message "Failed to load store entry. Resource does not exist, or you do not have…

Onshape Classroom Organization
Good Morning, I am trying to set up the classroom to use in my upcoming class as last term we started using CAD but instead of using the classroom feature we just had each student create a folder and share it with the instructor. I have been able to set up assignments and that is coming along nicely but as I add more and…

Failed to extrude, check input for two identical parts and extrudes
Here is a link to my document: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/b0d4b50641134a7bdb3b434f/w/acec1f7448d550d9c57c8e07/e/d518e41c58a4313287b65722?renderMode=0&uiState=694858e7dcbd655c37d5a848 I was trying to make a paint brush stand. As you seen in the file, sketch 5 splits the top surface in to two parts. Although they are…

Beginner: How to use lines along with 3D-models?
Hey community! I'm quite new to onshape and 3D-printing. So far I touched the surface of this awesome application and created some 3D-models based on YT-tutorials and own ideas. Now I got stucked a bit in using lines with extruded elements. I assume I have to convert a line into an area (e.g. rectangle) to use it properly…

Beginner question: How to use lines along with 3D-models?
Hey community! ✌️ I'm quite new to OS and 3D-printing (hobby). So far I touched the surface of OS by YT-tutorials and my first 3D constructions. Now I got stuck in using lines along with extruding these. I assume I have to "convert" lines to an area (e.g. rectangle) in order to extrude them. In my case this can be very…

How can I modify a flange so that the two side faces are aligned to parallel planes?
Here's an image of the desired part geometry as a reference: I would like to model this as a sheet metal part, but I'm not sure how to create identical geometry with the flange feature. Here are the existing flange feature details: It appears that when deselecting "hold adjacent edges", the effect is only applied to the…

FeatureScript question. allowing variable names with/without spaces
In Onshape's native variable features, there's a verifyVariableName feature that a.o. checks if variable names already exist as a different type of variable (like query ~). moreover it will throw an error if it contains spaces, which forces us tot type with dashes or underscores etc (camel, snake, Pascal or kebab or…

Custom Feature: Loft Fillet
Because of @EvanReese's series on equations, variables, etc. in Onshape, I ended up getting sucked into the FeatureScript rabbit hole. Needless to say, I'm hooked. I'm not a real programmer, but I'm still pretty happy with coming up with something that'll automate a pain point in my CAD workflows. Plus, then I get to share…

opExtendSheetBody missing from documentation
Several times in the standard library documentation, a reference to opExtendSheetBody is used, e.g. for extendSurface (context is Context, id is Id, definition is map) Extends a surface body by calling opExtendSheetBody.

Understanding Managed In-Context Design, In context design within a doc, step 28

All the lines of the sketch are black, but I need to add to dimensions to get that, which aren't present in the slide in the tutorial. The feature still shows not Fully…

Adaptive Finger Joints for Streamlined Design of Laser-Cut Structures
The worst part about designing laser-cut structures in SolidWorks is CADing all of the finger joints between components; even if you use a boolean for half, you need to CAD or pattern one side, and neither is all that nice. Since I dabble in programming (and wanted an excuse to script something), I took a hack at making a…
