Cannot resolve plane in Feature Script extrude
Hi, I am new to Feature Script and I am trying to create one for placing, on a cylindrical part, a groove for a Seeger ring. I need to remove from the cylinder using an area between two circles. Before placing the opExtrude function, the script works and the sketch with the two circles is created. After inserting the…

How to make a revolving joint have high resistance so that it won't move by the weight of a phone
So I want to 3d print a tripod stand for my phone so I can rest it on it. I already have tight tolerances with the legs, although I am not quite sure about that, and I have made a joint for the legs to rotate. I have already seen this 3d printed and know it is a very loose fit. How would I make the rotational joint very…

qAdjacent finding phantom edges in deform feature
Hey there, I'm working on a feature that will take a body (solid or sheet), a 'From Wire' and a 'To Wire' and deform the body from the From wire to the To wire. In many senses, this is similar to some other features I've seen published (Flex, I'm looking at you), but I haven't been able to get the behavior I'd like with…

Plane rotation
Hi, I'm drawing sketch profiles onto faces of parts. All parts but the last have the sketches drawn on their front faces. The last part has the sketch drawn on the rear face. I have use cases where I need the box profiles to be drawn tangential to the sketch line direction as in the image below - this works fine: And use…

Snap Hook Feature Script.. where is the groove??
Hi, new to Onshape. Trying to learn how to snap connect parts for 3D Printing I found the Feature Script called Snap Hook. It seems that it does only half a job. Where is the groove for the hook (cantilever)? Am I missing something? It would be really useful. Is there a second feature script for the groove? Kindly asking…

Form feature and threaded holes
I'm experimenting a bit with the Form feature in Onshape. I know it's not necessarily intended for this purpose, but I wanted to see if I could use it to create a cutout for a connector in sheet metal. So far it's working okay, but I'm running into an issue: I can't seem to add threads. They show up in the 3D and 2D…

Custom table in drawing resizes whenever I update the model
I created a custom table using FeatureScript and have inserted it into a drawing. I needed to resize it slightly in the drawing to get it to fit on the page nicely. But then when I make a change to the model and need to update the drawing the table reverts to its original size. Is there a way to prevent the table from…

Counting frame joint edges
Hi, I'm creating a structure using frames as per the image below: What would be the best way to count the internal edges of the joints? Each edge will need a right angled bracket which I don't intend to draw but an accurate dynamic count would be useful for BOM purposes. Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

How to compute a part property
Hello, I would like to calculate the price of a part based on its mass and its price/kg. I created a property (type List) to select the price/kg of the supplier. The display is the supplier name and the value is its price/kg. I want to code a feature that get this value, multiply it by the mass of the piece and return the…

New to CAD learning pathway - am I missing something?
I wanted to make an honest effort to learn OnShape the "right" way, without picking up potentially bad habits from random YT tutorials. I'm not a total noob to 3D modeling but it's been a while and I wanted to follow a learning pathway as though I had no prior modeling experience. Seemed like the "New to CAD" pathway was…

Cannot select entire circle to extrude cut
Having a very strange issue here, I created a design that mounts a pedal on a curved surface using 3 screw holes, it worked great for the throttle pedal. I decided to use the same model for the other two pedals, as the curvature of the pedal is the same but the mounting holes needed to be changed. I revised the design,…

Tangent connector
Hello everyone, I'm a "beginner" who uses Onshape in my hobbies. In “Assembly”, I want to “roll” a ball in a ‘rail’ made up of two 90° strips forming a sort of “V” groove or dihedron. I use the “tangent” connector, but I can only select the ball and one plane, not two as I would “intuitively” tend to do. I've spent a lot…

Am I missing something or will I just have to cut…
