Sheet Metal: edit flat pattern
I have created a sheet metal part from an existing model using Thicken with Tangent Propagation. Now I'd like to edit the flat pattern (specifically I want to increase one of the chamfers, see linked document). A sheet metal part created from scratch would have a sketch that could be edited to achieve this. What about this…

Modelling Seashells
Hi All, I've started learning to model in onshape and thought a good test would be to try and create some seashells with complex curved surfaces. This is proving to be difficult: with the various Loft options only making some sense as I furiously click through all the possible options. I'm try to close a scallop-like shell…

How do I update the parts in a render studio if I've made changes to my design?
Hey folks, I created a render studio scene from an assembly in onshape - I've added a few new parts to my assembly but I can't figure out how to update the scene. It still reflects the state of my assembly when I created it. Is there a way to preserve materials and settings and update a scene if the underlying assembly or…

How to draw a dinner table that is ellips but also has a rectangular part
Since yesterday I am trying to figure out how to make a (DXF) file that contains the right vector data of my dinner table with help of Onshape, but did not succeed yet. Reason of this exercise is that I bought a plastic table cloth that is ellips shaped, this since I assumed my table is ellips. However, it does not fit. I…

What types of custom libraries exist in 2025?
I've been struggling to find good information about custom libraries, because it appears OnShape has been using the "custom library" terminology for years to refer to recommended document organization schemes (putting shared hardware together in a document and calling it a "library", etc.). Now we have things like frame…

How Can I Arbitrarily Union All Parts?
Hello. I have a part pattern that has an instance count that is dependent of a configuration variable. After the pattern, I want to do a union of all the parts in the part studio. Is there a way I can easily union all parts, similar to "Merge with all." Thanks!

endTranslationalOffset in opExtrude seems not to be working
I'm working on a model where I would need to use opExtrude to extrude a face up to an other face/body with a certain offset. It works fine if I don't specify an offset, but fails with EXTRUDE_FAILED if endTranslationalOffset is specified: opExtrude(context, id + "extrude1", { "entities" : definition.faceToExtrude,…

Threads and mirroring question
I have a simple model where I need to create a rod on my 3D printer that's longer than the dimensions of my printers. So I'm printing it in 3 parts - a center piece and 2 end-pieces that goes on each side of the rod. You can see the model here:…

How to draw an ellips with a rectangular spacer
Hi everyone,I have a question. I ordered and received a transparent tablecloth. I assumed the shape was elliptical, but it turns out the cloth doesn't fit. After some research, I found the cause: the table is indeed elliptical, but there's a straight intermediate piece that can be slid under the table. So, this…

Google Docs Assessments Converted to Forms?
I am wondering if anyone has converted the google docs summative assessments into a google form? If not this would be an excellent addition for teachers using google classroom as it would automate the grading of the forms and would allow for exceptionally easy implementation into existing LMS.

How do I pass on "internal" errors to the user?
For example, if they try something and it says this in the console, can I capture that error and post it as a reportFeatureWarning? Also, the documentation is pretty bad for try/throw/catch (for a non programmer). what is the "e" catch (e)? What does throwing "e" do?

Need help with a idea for a time lapse using the feature tree.
I am not a feature script guy so this is a request. Sometimes I need to record my build and most of the time I forget to hit record, yes it is lame but it happens.

How to wrap Lead screw threading around a disc to make a gear.
I am trying to make a gear that will mesh with a lead screw, and struggling with how to wrap it around a surface so that it curves around the screw to make the meshing stronger. I modeled the lead screw to the pitch I have, then created a disc so that overlaps the edge of the screw. Split the screw with planes so its just…

First project challenge — bending irregular geometry in Onshape
Hi, this is my first full project in Onshape. I’m still very much a beginner, and my goal is to turn a vacuum into my favorite droid — R2-D2 from Star Wars. Right now I’m stuck trying to bend one of R2’s arms and could really use some advice. At first I tried using projected curves, but I found that both the top and front…

Loop / chain not working on sketch
Hi all. Sorry if this is a duplicate since the forum erased my last post without warning… I have a busy sketch in which I need to offset an outside perimeter inward by 2.5mm. There are too many line segments to manually offset them. FWIW this sketch is the reverse of a prior sketch, so I'm not sure this matters though.…

From there I create an skCircle for the outer dimension, an offset plane, and a skCircle for the…

Mirror Part
I have created a righthand version of a part and wish to mirror that part for a left hand version as a standalone part. I have used the mirror command about a plane which achieves the left hand part but when I try to modify the "mirrored" part it refers back to the original part. What am I doing wrong ?

New Custom Feature: Selection Fillet
Selection Fillet takes a lot of inspiration from the "Create selection" tool already built into Onshape. The idea is to add that selection logic (and more) and make that selection logic update with the model. I'm able to make my models all really robust to change with the exception of tiny finishing fillets I add (usually…
