Using Beams cut list table in drawings
I have a Part Studio that was made largely with the Beam feature script. One of the things Beam does is generate a Cutlist table in the Custom Tables tab with data like below. Standard Profile Size Length Quantity Timber Lumber 2 x 2 20.5 in 2 Timber Lumber 2 x 2 25 in 4 Timber Lumber 2 x 2 89 in 2 I'd like to use this…

Beams FeatureScript since V21 merge failing unless Properties are set
Not sure if this is a bug in Beams FeatureScript. But it fails for merge sections unless properties are set. Intentional or bug?

How to make beam feature drive part numbers?
I've been using the beam feature regularly and would really like the ability to have it set the component's part number as well as name. (To the exact same thing -- nothing fancy.) I know I can do it with a mix of variables and a Part Number FS, but I'm regularly working with 8+ beams per part studio, all of whose lengths…

Beams 2.0 error
Hi Guys, Recently I started to experience problems with Beams FeatureScript. When I try to pull the manipulator arrow to reposition the beam it started to report error. Probably it started after the latest update FS but I'm not sure. FeatureScript notice does not report anything. It does not depend on profile. Can't find…

Beams / Frame Generation (Tutorial) - Where Is It?
I've just worked through Onshape Fundamentals: CAD course. I enjoyed the course, am impressed with what Onshape has to offer, and am planning to adopt Onshape for my business. I'm used to using Autodesk Inventor, and use Inventor's frame generator feature quite often. It seems like Onshape's equavalent is "Beams." It would…

Beams profile library
Hello everyone, I would like to share with you all some of the profiles from my copy of Beams 2.0 featurescript created by @NeilCooke which I have added many profiles and merged some other libraries into. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a38ff6a561548498cb9d9e51/w/83da1faa1ca266e96418b80e/e/8a73854e0d3da96a42295ec4 It is…

Changing name of part to it's length using Beam FeatureScript
I tend to use the Beam FeatureScript alot in my projects, and thanks to the new BOM update its way easier to indicate parts in drawings. So instead of having the parts being generated with the name "Part 1" etc. I want to have the name of the profile and the length in the name. I have done the profile name part sucessfully…

Position helpers for beams
The laser cutting company used to have a feature called "position helpers" in their online ordering tool. That allowed me to simply add them to connecting beams. That resulted in a small extra flange on one tube a a corresponding hole in the other. Unfortunately they do not offer that functionality anymore. Is there an…

Unwrapping Tube/Pipe (Cylinders)
How would I go about unwrapping tube ends? I'm using the beam feature to model a tube chassis. Looking to unwrap the ends of the tubes so I can have a template to cut/notch the tube ends in preparation for welding. Any solutions to this? It seems it can't be done with sheet metal...

How do I get the FeatureScript Beams to recognize the new profiles that I creat?
I made a copy of the Beams script (named it FeatureScript ModifledBeams), Added the profile for 1" X 1" to the profile list, changed the "beamProfileTable" constant to "beamProfileTableMod" in both the beam profile and beam feature tabs. When I load the ModifledBeams into the document it does not show the 1X1. If I open…
