opBoolean UNIONs
For anyone having difficulties with opBoolean unions, I discovered that adding "targetsAndToolsNeedGrouping" : true to the parameters list caused the operation to be performed successfully. opBoolean(context, getUID(id, "boolean", 2), { "tools" : qCreatedBy(getUID(id, "extrude", 2), EntityType.BODY), "targets" :…

Adding extruded drawing to a part
Hey I'm messing around with adobe illustrator and Onshape, and I'm wondering if there's anyway I can get a drawing onto a part. I want to add a dog's face to a part, but it seems like the only way to do that is to import the AI file as a PNG, then trace it. This doesn't seem like the cleanest way to do this. Does anybody…

Irregular linear pattern
Hello! I want to make a mechanical manipulator by SpiBot (https://www.cell.com/device/pdfExtended/S2666-9986(24)00603-3). I have no issue creating a single segment, however, I struggle to come up with good way to shrink them along the axis, as on the drawing. Would love to hear any ideas on how to linearly change scale of…

Mirror Problem
I am a complete beginner and I have hit a brick wall. For a very simple woodwork project I have created a rail 25 x 40 x 400 mm. I have created a tenon on one end using "extrude - remove". I now want that same tenon on the other end. I have exhausted my free goes on Chat GPT and I think I have tried everything! In the…

opLoft Tangent Constraints
I'm pretty new to FeatureScript, so I don't quite have all of the syntax down yet. I'm trying to play around with opLoft and am having issues setting both ends to match Tangent.

Extrude depth angle
Recently discovered Onshape and I'm relly liking this "cloud CAD" concept. I'm stock in this project. Trying to create a gym plate but can't figure out hout to extrude so the dept or height of the sketch is not regular in the whole piece which I'm assuming could be achieved by giving an "angle" to the extrude fuction.…

Regeneration time is slow, but also not consistent - What gives?!
I have a relatively complicated real product that is ready to go to market. I had designed most of the enclosure in a single part studio with over 200 features, but it was getting slow. I don't have any crazy patterned geometry or any particularly complex sketches. I duplicated the part studio a handful of times for each…

Anyone have an FS that can convert a decimal length to a (reduced) fractional equivalent
I know people in the metric (most of) world are going to be like "huh?" but I'm trying to match a convention to build a part description parametrically… I was hoping Pascoe's "variable to string" FS would do it but it doesn't include that function, which tells me it's not super trivial so I thought I would ask if anyone…

Not a Feature: Luminary Cloud Import Checkpoint

Can robust complex surfaces be modelled.
I was having a discussion with an industrial designer about advance surfacing, and if he believed it would be possible to produce robust designs that allow us to have variables that control final outputs. E.g. We can have configuration tables driving all the sub versions of a master design. First this concept seemed like a…
