cone

Hi, I'm fairly new to onshape and parametric CAD, but blown away by its power and versatility. I'm modelling for 3D printing and I've hit a knowledge gap that I haven't been able to resolve via the forums. I'd be grateful for any advice. I have a pattern of cylinders that I created by sketching a circle, repeating with…

Hi - I've blown most of today trying to do something that seemed simple at first and would appreciate any tips. I am trying to make a hollow tube with a cone at one end and I can only make a solid cone using Loft. It seems impossible to revolve even just a triangle - I keep getting an error regarding Revolve creating a…

Hello! How do I make a solid spiral on a cone with smooth transitions on top and bottom? I have made a solid cone with a helix on the surface and swept a triangle sketch along the helix to make the spiral, and also a solid 6mm cylinder in the middle of the cone, like a shaft. I would like to extend the solid spiral into…

I'm trying to create ribs on a tilted cone, to form a tube connector. I want to be able to change the number of ribs, so I have created #rib_count. My problem is that I cannot get the ribs to change in number correctly. I tried with a linear pattern within a sketch, but such patterns cannot use variables (I have read that…

Hi all, I'm trying to create a helix around a cone with its starting point relative to the smaller end of the cone, but I can't seem to figure out a way to get onshape to do that. I want the helix to start from this position: ...but as you can see, since the start angle is 0 deg, the helix is actually being generated from…

Is there a way to create a sheet metal cone in onshape?
