Developing an online CAD tool for architecture
I am thinking about developing a simple CAD tool for architecture very similar to Trimble SketchUp for Web, except even simpler but for a specific purpose. Can I reconfigure Onshape's user interface to do this? If so, how? I couldn't find anything on the help documentation.

To Sweep or Not to Sweep . . .
Context: I've been working on the model of a cylinder with 2 intersecting voids (1 sweep, 1 extrude) at 4 cardinal positions. (see PDF Vertical section) This model the slot merging into the tunnel (see Plan sects.) . Problems: One of the four merges between a Sweep void and a extrude void isn't resolving. I've done the…

copy a part studio to a new document
I have a part that was designed in an earlier document. I used it in my current project by importing the part into the main assembly, but now I want to edit the part. I also don't want to mess up the earlier design. is there a way to import the part studio from the earlier document so I can modify the part without making…

How to troubleshoot Sketch could not be solved (no loose ends found)?
I'm trying to add one last center point rectangle to my drawing and it gives me the dreaded "Sketch could not be solved" error. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong myself, but I'm just not getting it. When I click the button to show sketch diagnostic tools, it just says no loose ends found. Is there something…

Why does my sketch remain all blue in the clamp Exercise: Completing A Master Sketch
Upon completing this exercise, my sketch has one degree of freedom. It still operates with one degree of freedom between the two arms, which seems to be what it ought to do. Also the outlines of the two arms are blue, not black. But the completed exercise has the outlines in black and is fully constrained so it cannot be…

how to make a nice curved line to extrude
Hello all, I am not so good in 3D drawings, so I am sorry for that. I can do basics, but realy basic. ;-) Now I need to make a square (20mm on 30mm) that is flat on the under side, but curved on the top, and I can't do it. Tried several things, but not what I needed. See red line? Well, want that to be a curved line in a…

How to set PDF output for a drawing, 2D view including dimensions?
New user here. I tried to export my Part as PDF, checked settings for preferences in My Account but the only options I see are 3D file formats like STL, IGES, etc. According to Help I should be able to set any of the supported formats including PDF, PNG, JPG what have you. What am I missing? Jan Didden

Airfoil twist
I am building an f1 car and I am trying to make a realistic rear wing. I used a sweep to make the wing curl down at the edge like the 2022-2025 cars have. But I couldn't find a way to make the sweep variable, so the corners ended up having an angle of attack way to big. I then used a loft for the lower element which worked…

Can surface cuts be locked so they dont always want to be updated if the block is moved ?
similar to solidworks, when you move the bar down to lock items in the tree.

Fixing a part in an angled hole
In the linked document, I have created a block (Kingpin-Axle Block Ext) with an hole through it at an angle of 4.5 degrees. I want to fix the "Axle" part aligned in this hole. I can manually move it into close proximity of where it should be, but I can't figure out how to actually "mate" it in the correct position. If I…

Collaborating with someone on a free account
I have a Pro account and I've shared a link to some parts with my client who is on a free account. If they are viewing a document, I get a message saying that their view will close if I access it. Since they have "view only" permissions, can I set it up where they can still view the file as I'm working on it, as if it were…

How to modify a Configuration variable in a Configuration List
I have all these configuration variables. They allow me to generate a lot of differente planter easily but now I would like to have "sets" of configuration like "Little" or "Big" to automatically change a bunch of these config variables with one click. I can't select a configuration variable with "Configure features", only…

Creating a Query from a Plane
Hi, I have the following code: var horizontalPartSketchPlane = evFaceTangentPlane(context, { "face" : face, "parameter" : vector(0.5, 0.5) }); var skHorizontalPart = newSketch(context, id + faceIndex + "skHorizontalPart", { "sketchPlane" : horizontalPartSketchPlane as Query }); Which fails at the sketchPlane attribute.…

finding a way to bypass assembly
I’m trying to find a way to generate a BOM without going through the assembly process. My problem is that I use measured variables to calculate the gap between the bars of a ramp. However, once the assembly is done, the variables are no longer accessible. Here are my variables: Railing1 -> Measured NbRailing1 ->…

Hyperbolic parametric curve failing to regenerate
I'm trying to create a hyperbolic curve, using the parametric curve featurescript by mahir (https://cad.onshape.com/documents/578ff8b3e4b0e65410fcfda3/v/9e1cf9e0369f819849e1e2fd/e/46b903b8bff0b36927baa2a6?renderMode=0&uiState=6741ded4b653d019b0422d48) and working off the derivation from a video by rad-head (…

Flatten a sheet metal cone shape

Trying to use the shell feature.
I used revolve to create this very basic model. From my understanding revolve will only work with a fully shaded object, and not revolve around a construction line (I'm I mistaken?). I need the cone section hollow, so I figured I could sketch a circle and use the shell command to hollow it out to the specified dimensions.…

Improvements to Onshape - November 1st, 2024

Only native Onshape parts and mesh model types are supported at this time. Thickness analysis is currently only available for Onshape…

PDF management like Bluebeam Revu
Onshape can hold things like PDFs, and images etc. Modeling is based on extensive research and a 3d model is the end result of that research. Need a way to capture the research done so anyone, months later, can see how you came to that conclusion, that is, the 3d model. So if Onshape could have the following for PDFs:…

Query filter help for vertices?
I'm trying to construct a query filter which will take individual vertices, edge points, mate connectors, and/or whole sketches. When I select a whole sketch I want it to use any sketch points, or vertices of sketched lines/arc/etc, but not from construction sketch entities. I don't really understand…

Can the Cutlist feature auto import dimensions?
The Cutlist feature seems great but do I still need to manually input the dimensions of each part by using the "Add Column Overide" option. Is there a way for the cutlist to automatically input columns for the part name, quantity, length,width, height, thickness?
