How do I make a loft that are 1 cm thick
I am designing an adapter that transitions from a square opening to a round cylinder. I am trying to create a loft with a 1 cm wall thickness. I have tried creating two separate lofts one solid loft and one loft to remove the internal material but I still end up with these holes. Has anyone run into this issue before or…

How do I blend the two inside faces too each other? I can't seem to get face blend to work. Plz Help
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c5684b823c04af1ec354a756/w/4360f2a9b3dae329827ae9f2/e/e1df25300d4c I want to blend a face between the outer perimeter of the center piece to the inner perimeter of the outer piece and can't seem to setup a face blend. Am I doing it wrong? is there a better function to use? any help would…

How to fully define a sketch
I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or if I’m just not understanding, but I’m trying to make a body tube for a model rocket and I’ve been stuck trying to do a simple circular pattern around the Z‑axis of my body tube (a cylinder). I’m new to Onshape, but I have experience with other CAD software, and for some reason…

Cylinder. Extrude a turning angle
I have a cylinder dia. of 114.59mm with a height 100mm. I am trying to remove a 2mm x 2mm trough at the 45 degree mark on a 4.5 degree angle. I tried changing the plane angle but the extrude ends up shallow on the other end. Any other ideas?

Putting countersunk holes on a wrapped part around a cyclinder
I have a cylindrical piece that I want to add a lens (which will have an LED strip in the lens). I want to use countersunk screws to attach the lens to the cylinder body. 1. How do I create countersunk holes on the Lens (in grey) 2. How do I extend the holes into the body (in blue) who they will be tapped when I 3d print…

Metric threads not engaging in cylindrical parts
Hi! I'm designing what will become an electronic light consisting of a two-part construction. The battery and other components will be mounted in an inner cylindrical part that then screws into the outer cylindrical part. The construction will be 3D printed in PLA. I've set the outer diameter of the inner part to 34.7 mm…

SHEET METAL BEND - CANNOT UNROLL A SIMPLE BEND
I am using sheet metal in OnShape the first time and trying to unroll a simple bend. The arc and line are tangent. Seems like this should be a trivial thing to unroll, but it refuses to do so. Am I missing something?

What is the best process to complete this design?
I am trying to make an assembly of this stove box: It is constructed with sheet metal and rebar. The inside of the box is hollow which allows smoke from a fire below to be forced into the opening you see in the cylinder and out the back opening of the rectangular box. I have some OnShape experience but not with anything…

Modify a cylinder by removing and extruding on the surface
I am trying to replicate this part: I have made the cylinder itself but I am looking for ways to remove the rectangular opening and add a small extrusion to the outer wall. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

How to reinforce the sides and bottom of a cylinder?
Hi, I have already made fillets for my project (for holes, box edges...), but can't seem to do it with cylinders. Maybe I'm wrong, and fillets are not the tool to use for this need. I would like to reinforce the base of the cylinder with a "skirt", and make some kind of "weld" between the cylinder wall and the orange wall.…

Cylindrical Extrusion / Wrap Honeycomb around Cylinder?
Hi, does anyone know of a good way to create a honeycomb pattern around a cylinder with a solid core? Trying to create a pattern for a mold for my father and am stumped on this one. Thanks!

Hollowing out a convoluted cylinder
Was hollowing out this lens barrel, making progress. But for some reason, I can't seem to get the last bit (towards the right-hand side of the images below). Any ideas? Here it is looking up the barrel. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/b4b4261f4f1c26e011a77dbf/w/1b735737fb7eeb1a46eac899/e/aad0b319e095bf2cff3162c5

How to I evaluate a query and store one of the resulting entities?
Hello, I am hoping you can help me. I would like to find the 2 largest Cylindrical surfaces on a part by surface area. I can do this, but I think there must be a better method? I am used to object oriented programming in java where I could store this sort of thing using an object. I havn't put the full code (as it long and…

How do I cut a hole through the curved surface of a cylinder (Newb)
Hi, I'm trying to cut a through hole through the curved face of a cylinder. So far I have drawn a circle and a radius. Extruded the circle. Created an offset plane tangential to the surface (is that the right way to go?) Using the Hole tool, select the vertex of the radius on the offset plane but the hole keeps going…

Combine hollow cylinder with sphere
I have a hollow hemisphere I'm trying to add circular base to. I suppose this is essentially combining a cylinder to a sphere. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to combine the two separate pieces or cut a hole in the hemisphere and extrude the base from that. For now I have the two pieces sketched in Onshape but I have no idea…

Cant Awaken for Dimension or Convert Faces on Cylindrical sides?
So when I try to make a sketch and use a cylindrical face's top or bottom relative to sketch plane to dimension off of I cant awaken it as a line nor can I use convert entities to make it into a line. This is killing my design intent as I have to dimension off of weird points I put on a while back into my design. Am I…
