Struggling with extruding a cube
Hi all, I'm trying to code a feature script to replicate the SCAD BOSL2 joiner component (link). I've been able to create the object manually (link), but for the life of me, I cannot get anything to extrude in my feature script. I've recruited a couple of AI's as well who've been the opposite of helpful, lol. I have tried…

Why am I not getting the expected surface area of a part? Constraints issue?
I'm learning CAD and am currently working my way through the "Introduction to Part Studios" module in Onshape's "Learning Pathways." My goal is to really learn CAD, not just understand the instructions. In the exercise for Basic Features where you extrude a control arm sketch you create, I'm getting close to the surface…

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…
