Soporte para diseño
Hola, hace tiempo que utilizo onshape para diseñar piezas de mis aeromodelos. Estoy construyendo una maqueta a escala 1:8 del Grumman Duck, avión emblemático de la 2a Guerra Mundial. Tengo dificultades serias para poder completar el diseño de los flotadores del avión. Adjunto imágenes del plano y del aspecto real de los…

Struggling to convert mesh into solid
Hi all, I have simplified a mesh to a small part, but I still can seem to create a solid to match the mesh. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Here is a link to my file: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7cb1bfd00328e61f35e83a83/w/849815842fd14a0862c686a3/e/eb535e14df4bd7e60c66229e

How to use a config variable to make more config variables?
Im making a 3d printed screw sorter. A screw sits on a disc and is rotated by a spinning head, until the end of the screw tips into the right sized hole and falls into a bin below. I want to be able to configure both the number of bins and the screw length of each hole. So I want the user to be able to first use a config…

How to remove overlapping sketch lines and sketch to dxf producing multiple layers
I'm creating a design for laser cutting fabrication. I'm usually exporting a surface face to DXF, which works great. For a certain cut, I wanted to use a sketch, as it efficiently produces the dxf to cut multiple faces together that aren't on a shared face, but a shared sketch. I found that the dxf file had two layers,…

Stuck with how to approach offset part - Connect two
Hello! I hope you all are doing well! I really hate to ask this, but I've run into a snag. Reviewed some tutorials on loft, revolve, bridging curve + fill + enclose. But i cannot get anything to work. I've tried various sketches to no avail. Below is a snapshot of the part i am working on, and a photo of the actual part i…

Loft did not generate properly: Current selections would create a self-intersecting body
Hello, Long time user, first time posting. First off thanks to this community, this forum has helped answer a lot of questions over the years! I'm trying to loft between two profiles. I have guide curves that (I believe) intersect the profiles and are not tangent to the profiles. I've also tried adding connection points…

How to 'edit' or view student submissions with suppress on
The short version is that there's an assignment that has students insert a cam into a premade assembly and use the tangent mate to make the cam move a follower shaft up and down. With how it currently is, they both get sent to the middle of the axle that it's turning on. For convenience sake I told them to supress one cam…

Custom Feature: Rib Network
This custom feature creates a network of planar ribs based on one or more sketches with full control of draft and fillets. It's actually a few years old, but I've dusted it off, fixed a ton of bugs and published it. Enjoy! https://cad.onshape.com/documents/67de1cda4399707a3649fcdf This was created from one sketch:

Passing a variable from Part Studio A to Part Studio B
Hi, I am wondering if there was a way to pass a variable from a Part Studio to another one in the same document, at least passing only its value... I would expect that a Derive would work, but nope. P.S. Variable can have a few different meanings in Onshape, The one I am questionning here is the one that appears as an (x)…

New Custom Feature: EZ Wire
I'm still playing with the UI and logic rules, but basically it's a way to quickly route wire/pipe/cable when exact positioning isn't critical (like for our robots, when we need a basic path). The example below shows a path that would require 7 points in RoutingCurve, but mine does it with just 3 MC positions.…

Issues about the feature scrip to generate a parametric curve
Hello, I'm an amateur designer using the Onshape platform with very good results so far, I must admit. However, I've recently run into a problem I can't solve. I'm trying to generate an involute profile, and when I load the data, I get an error message. To explain, when I write the equations for X and Y, I get the error…

Feature script extrude offset issue
Hi, I would like to know how I can make an extrude with an offset within a feature script. The link below points to an example project with a failed offset extrude. The parameter "hasOffset" is set to true and the "offsetDistance" is set to 5 * millimeter. The feature script generates without error but also without offset.…

Icons on param groups?
I don't think this is currently possible, but want to be wrong. Anyone know if we can add icons for collapsable groups? The Hole feature gets close, but the native icon implementation isn't done via FS imports.

How to make this camshaft push the valves?
Hi all, I have been designing an engine in onshape and recently I have reached the cylinder head section. I have made a camshaft and valves but cannot get the camshaft to push the vales properly. I have looked online for help already and have tried using a tangent mate, but it just won't rotate the entire way around. I…

Loft "all guides should intersect with profile boundary
I am designing a boat hull, it has a smooth curve (created with a spline) at the bottom and a sharp corner at the top. I want to loft between the 3 faces i have created but the two upper line to not intersect with the opposite far side, is there a way to resolve this? as you can see some funky geometry going on at the top…

Circle Tangent & Coincident with Spline Issues
I am trying to create a dynamic equation driven gear from the tutorial below, and at about 14:40 he tries to connect 2 circles to a pair of symmetrical (mirrored) splines by making them coincident at 2 points and also tangent to the splines themselves. In his video in which he is using Solidworks, the two circles are the…

Is there a way to print a pdf that's been inserted into a Publication?
There doesn't seem to be a means to print a pdf or .dwg directly from a Publication. I see the pdf can potentially be downloaded, but printing directly would be a better option for our workflow.

Make a Simple Sheet Metal Box with Flanges
I'm lost on how to get the flange to meet or at least come close to perpendicular wall. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a06e51a396299611fc85368b/w/d7213e7937d6c4f60d66e3db/e/a785adeb3ec4f767493dc68f Also, I am unable to find any examples using the "up to entity" or "up to entity with offset" selections. Thanks, Steve.

How to Make a Plane Tangent to a Point on the Surface of a Ball
It's not actually a ball, but I believe this is the same problem. I'm just trying to drill straight into a curve, and/or to make a plane tangent to the curve in the process. None of the plane types seem to work. (Selecting the curve and a point on it just stays red for "Tangent Plane". Point Normal comes out unrelated to…

New FeatureScript: Crush Ribs — Parametric Press-Fit Ribs for Cylindrical Holes
Hi everyone, I’ve been taking my first real steps in proper 3D modeling (I came from Tinkercad, so this was a big jump for me 😅), and I wanted to share something useful that came out of that learning process. I wrote a FeatureScript called Crush Ribs — a fully parametric tool for generating wedge-shaped crush ribs inside…

Bending a wire mesh sheet

I now want to bend the sheet, not reconstruct, but bend it along a crossing axis. Can this be done in Onshape? I need to create various parts of…
