Grasshopper/Dynamo in Onshape?
FeatureScript is an amazing feature of the Onshape system, but the barrier to entry is a little high. All the verbiage to get to the core of creating/manipulating geometry takes a lot of time to understand. If you don't use it all the time, it's easy to forget subtleties of the syntax and standard library. I'm also a very…

Predicates within an array?
The predicate doesn't recognize the input map unless it is hard-coded with the same name "widget". Is there a trick to getting this to work? One that doesn't involve hard-coding the map name into the predicate? FeatureScript 2752; import(path : "onshape/std/common.fs", version : "2752.0"); annotation { "Feature Type Name"…

Can a Parallel mate be replicated?
I'm modeling an assembly that consists of three (3) concentric rings, with the inner 2 being adjustable and the outer ring fixed horizontally. Each ring has 280 (!) small chains attached to the underside. I'm trying to utilize a configuration variable to set the angle at which the pivoting rings are shown (one ring will be…

Sketch could not be solved - Maximum size sketch
Hello, I am reaching out because I am experiencing an issue with one of my sketches. I was creating something like a pipeline/tube, and at some point I started to run into problems with my sketch, as ONSHAPE reported me that it could not be solved. However, I was quite confident about my constraints. After investigating, I…

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,…

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.

How do I pass on "internal" errors to the user?
