Can I change the orbit mode to something like Sketchup?
Hi, I have only been using Onshape for a very short while and one thing I couldn't get to grips with is the orbiting. I use Blender, Sketchup and Pro Desktop8 and when I try to orbit like I would in other 3D software, my view rolls and tilts and I cannot get back to the view that I want. Ideally I would like to see an…

A question about B-Spline to Interpolated-Spline
I’d like to ask if there is a way to convert a B-Spline (defined by control points, knots, etc.) into an Interpolated-Spline (defined solely by a series of points, similar to the spline in Onshape UI). The evCurveDefinition function returns the parameters of the B-spline (control points, knots, etc.), but the parameters I…

Adding a rubber seal to a box

I can get the seal cutout around 3 sides of the box, but when I push the extrusion on the 4th side the full length of the side, it…

Self-intersecting part when I'm trying to duplicate (revolve) fan blades around a middle axis
Hi, I've been trying to make a fan and as I understand it a self intersect happens when a part collides with itself when it's crossing over the axis (typically) which is not the case with how I built my project. I'm at a loss to add the fan blades on the center hub, 15 blades at 24 degrees from center. If I'm…

ZigZag loft (for lack or a better word/term)

Selecting "something" behind a hidden object.

My present problem is in trying to select a point or line or whatever that happens to be "behind" another object (and that I can't reach by rotating the assembly.

How to sweep over a cylindrical face along a projected curve instead of a helix
I am new to Onshape and to CAD design in general. I am trying to design a gear with its teeth swept along a curve I have projected on a cylindrical surface.
