Advice on designing garden decking
Hi all, I want to design some garden decking but I'm not sure how best to structure the document(s). Essentially I have a boards layer with straight boards and bull nosed edging boards. Than a layer of rafters running below the boards. A layer of joists running below the rafters. And then a layer of height adjustable feet…

Parts library that provides for each part a simplified and full model version
I'm trying to make a parts library that provides for each part a simplified and full model version(configured via a configuration checkbox), since these parts get used in assemblies with up to 2000 parts and subassemblies so the primitive count is really high and some computers struggle. However I've encountered the…

Part Revision Number on Drawing
Hi guys I'm struggling with getting the revision number on my drawings since I activated the pro-license. When releasing a drawing together with the part both revision numbers are changed. But the revision number is not loaded into the drawing: only a "-" is showing. But when making a version of the part first and then…

Sheet metal flanges on parts with corner chamfers
I'm learning OnShape and the flange tool behaves differently than how Solidworks would generate it. Any reason why the flange tool basically deletes the chamfer in this situation? It's not that I can't think of a workaround for this using partial flanges and some extrusions, but seems like a lot of extra commands for…

Embedding interactive model into webpage
I have just transitioned from Fusion 360 to onShape and loving every moment of it. One feature, though, I would love to have is the ability to embed an interactive model in a webpage for documentation purposes. Fusion has this feature to embed models in iFrame. Is there any hack or workaround for this?

Configuration Variables and Tables
Hi, I have a simple part that is a custom connector. I have two configuration variables that define the size of the two connecting ends (e.g., 6 mm to 4 mm). The size of the part changes with these values. Is there a way to have a table in a drawing that shows values for a dimension for different combinations of these two…

VEX 19-Tooth Rack Gear misaligning itself upon fastened mate to 12in linear slider track
I am making an assembly with all the gear relations in it so I can fully understand how they work, and during assembling the rack&pinion setup I found the 19-tooth rack gear becomes rotated by about 4.5° when I fastened it to the linear track(this happens regardless of where i put the mate). I can offset rotate the fasten…

How do I edit an object imported as an STL file?
servo_mount_disc (1).stl | servo_mount_disc (1) I have an STL model I imported, and I want to remove the flange, leaving only the cylinder with interior teeth. I tried adding a cylinder and using the Boolean function, but that doesn't seem to work. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Slanted plane sketching problem
Hi! I'm basically a complete Onshape beginner, so please bare and be patient with me. I am trying to create a tape dispenser (pic) in onshape, right now working on the body. I've managed to make the bottom part of the body, on which it can already be seen that the front and back have different widths, and the bottom and…

Updated Spur Gear FeatureScript
One FeatureScript I've used quite a bit is @NeilCooke's spur gear FeatureScript, which is always useful whenever I need to make custom gears. However, I've found that the editing logic can be a bit annoying, so I made a few modifications in order to make it more intelligent and easier to use. The Updated Spur Gear…

Trying to create a mesh of holes across my entire spherical surface
Hi all, I've created a half hemisphere with a wall thickness of 0.5mm and I'm trying to perforate it with 0.5mm holes all over. So far I have used a circular pattern to get a ring around the top, but I can't figure out how to propagate that pattern across the rest of the surface without recreating the approach I used for…

How do I combine two shapes to be able to then subtract another?
Hi, I am a beginner and am having trouble performing a particular function. I have made a part and then bent it using the bend sheet metal function + extruded the outcome. I now want to boolean subtract (dark blue) but the program seems to treat my bent sheet (light blue) and the extruded element (grey) as two parts. I…

How to make a part thinner
Hi,I created this part by using the boolean subtraction operation. This part, Lid, was the target and a different part was used as the tool. The fitment is slightly too tight and I need to make the marked extrusion slightly thinner. I don't know the best way to do this so I created two offset sketches and tried to use the…

Issue with controlling direction of asymmetric fillet
Hi all, Having some issues with the asymmetric fillet feature in part studio. Only one of the edges is reversed in its direction, and I can't seem to find a way to edit or control this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Are the rounded corners causing this issue? (Corners done in a previous fillet feature, not in a sketch)…

Feature Request: Is there an unreleased drawing attached to a part/ assembly?
Hello, looking for an simple and smooth workflow for determining if a part has a drawing already made. Maybe right click the part or assembly and select open drawing. I find it challenging in large part assemblies creating drawings and keeping track of what has already been created and what has not. Thank you,
