I want to create a new removed stretch via API
I refer to this website https://onshape-public.github.io/docs/api-adv/featureaccess/#create -The A-cylinder learned how to create a new stretch, but I don't know how to create a removed stretch. I replaced NEW with REMEVE, but I found that the newly created stretch reported an error and lacked the merge scope. I think the…
I'm new to cad and can't figure out why my shape won't make a plate
So I'm making a small stove, I made a "U" plate that will be bent, but now I want to make a front plate then makes a hole for the door, but when I extrude it just keeps the "U" shape and won't extrude as a plate.I don't know why it does that, I didn't make a rectangle then extruded it from the inside to make the shape.…
How do I extrude along this path?
I am trying to extrude the hexaganal shape along the construction path, but I can't work out how to do it. I thought I would select the hex shape, and then check "direction" which would allow me to click on the path. Howeever it will not let me select the arch shaped path shown below. Is there any way of doing this?
How to retrieve all the feature ids used to generate a part in a part studio
Hello, Is there any way to know what features and sketches (by ids or names) are used to generate a part, given the part Id using featurescript? For example, in the image, When I click on part 1, Extrude 1 is automatically highlighted, which means it's saved somewhere. Thank You.
Need help to get the metadata of the edges where fillet is applied (Onshape API and Featurescript)

How to make wing with curved bottom? - airfoil tool and/or loft
Hi, I'm working on a project and I'm trying to make a wing that has a curved bottom that progressively gets thinner as it goes along. I've tried using the onshape airfoil script but I can't get the same effect when I loft - instead I get straight lines. I've tried using guides when lofting but that is difficult because…
how to extrude a surface up to another surface
In spa patio | Part Studio 1 Copy 1 (onshape.com) I have the lower (gold/brown) thicken and the upper (orange) extrude and I'd like to estimate the volume between them. I figured I'd just extrude one up to the other but the Extrude feature does not seem to let me pick the lower (thicken) as a "face" to extrude up. If I use…
How to set normal direction for a hole?
Hey! I'm trying to start with Feature Script and as first task tried to make a simple cylindrical hole. I let the user select a vertex on a surface, create a skect, draw a circle and then want to extrude a hole. My problem is currently the value for "oppositeDirection". How can I set this value (or the normal) so that the…
Boolean Operation failed to return a valid part.
Hi all, I'm trying to remove material to make a cool pattern on this conic shape I'm modeling. I have a sketch with a circle pattern, and I'm trying to extrude it all the way through the part, but my extrude feature breaks and gives me "Boolean Operation failed to return a valid part" when I try it. Please see link below…
