  • Vertex/edge/face IDs

    I export part geometries (as STEP files) for use in 3D multibody simulations. I often add new connections to parts before simulation---to apply forces, add pulley or gear constraints, maybe sense motion---and these are ultimately based on the IDs of vertices, edges, or faces that I select from the STEP file geometries I…

  • Export, but not everything in the Assembly

    I have imported a kitchen wall and floor, then I've made a kitchen assembly. Now I want to export it, but I don't want to export the floor and wall again. Can I exclude this from the export in some smart way. I could hide them, I assume, but it's tedious every time I want to export. 

  • Export Bounding Volume

    I have designed a kitchen cabinet, quite advanced with all kinds of stuff going on inside;) However, when I export this to simpler formats, like Collada/STL, I don't really need the complex geometry inside the cabinet. My files are 70Mio now for a few cabinets. From Wikipedia: In computer graphics and computational…

  • Export file with file name including Part Number, Part Name and Revision Number

    Is there a way to configure the Export feature of OnShape so that the file name includes the Part Number, Part Name and Revision Number? For example, when exporting a part the autogenerated name is "Part Studio Name - Part Name" I would like to specify the autogenerated name as "Part Number - Part Name - Part Revision"…

  • Replace Import

    I've now reexported my model from ArchiCAD into a Parasolid object and would like to replace my previous OBJ mesh import with that. I'm pretty sure I had a "replace" command at some point. I'm a bit confused;)

  • Increase resolution of exported STL

    I am exporting a part studio as an STL with a resolution of "fine". What are the highest quality custom settings that I can use? The design have a very subtle and large radius curve that is more flat than round in the final part when I load the STL into my slicing software. I am 3D printing this and I need a nice gentle…
