Extruding up to surface with hidden area
This is a minimal example: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f2056bc8a4f21f6dc05c0aaa/w/db5173e0d0b77e5474e5fa42/e/bfaac868460e035bc6c0abf4 I have a surface with acute angles, which I project to a plane in order to extrude from the plane to the surface. The acute angle of the surface make the extrude fail, which I can…

Boolean not returning valid part; how to intersect?
I already posted this here (this is a duplicate) but this seems like the more appropriate forum. I have a boat that I'm trying to model based off of four lofted sketches. I've been trying to hollow it out; I tried using both shell and thickness to do so. In either case, whenever I try to take the top of the boat off using…

Reverse Engineered Lego
This is the first project in which I give students the freedom to choose their own project. The goal is to have students each duplicate a Lego piece as well as they can. I have a large bin of Legos and Duplos from which they can choose the part their will copy. Along the way I show them how to use Vernier calipers so they…

Cube Puzzle Project
This is a classic CAD and woodworking project. It is the first project I have my students do. We begin the project by having students build cube puzzles using 1g interlocking cube blocks. These can be found online from many science supply or general retailers. I have students then design each part in OnShape. I show the…

100 mm Cube with 40 mm Hole
This is the second project I have my students do. The goal is to make a part that matches the drawing. Students submit a PDF of their drawing file and share their design with me when done. The drawing should be dimensioned to match the model provided. At this point students have seen the Extrude tool, but they have not…

Extrude, Keep Edges
If I extrude something like this, the edges disappear. What I mean is that I've specifically made cuts here that I want the extrude to keep. If that's not possible, then I'm not sure which workflow I should be using, cause this is a cabinet and when I attach the door to this cabinet in the assembly, I don't have the edge…

Removing an "asymmetric Pyramid from solid" (Constructing a hip rafter)
Dear All, I'm kind of new using Onshape and got stuck by trying to construct a hip rafter for an awing (shown in the picture below). My Problem is the following: I have created a balk as a solid in Onshape. Now I have to remove some kind of an "asymmetric Pyramid" in such a way that the hip rafter fits to the corner of the…

Extrude Fails
I was on a roll, creating lots of lofts and then extruding them, then suddenly it wouldn't work on one and it just throws the normal non-intuitive "can't regenerate" message. Is there any way to get more sensical error messages so that I can figure out what's wrong?;) Here's the public document:…

Extrusion Direction based on Collision Evaluation
Hello, I am trying to create a routine that changes the direction of the extrusion based on a collision evaluation. The script performs this task right after sweeping a cylindrical structure. My goal is to extrude another cylinder (different to the original), in the opposite direction. My initial though was to use the…

Sketch generation.
I am new to Onshape so my questions are basic. I have watched the various tutorials on extrusions and created a long rectangular cubic form. I am now putting holes thro it from various planes just to gain experience. Some times it works fine and then i find that I select a plane but cannot generate a sketch which appears…

Trying to query for edge betwen a loft and an extrude
In featurescape I am trying to add a fillet on an edge between a rocket in and body (loft and extrude). I've manually put in in the fillet, but I would like to do it in featurescript ("TODO" in the feature script). I need form a query to find the edge. I've tried a bunch of things, but no avail. Something like ... var…

Can't create thread, Just get an error and red thread outline
I've been struggling for about an hour, searching the internet and what not to see if anyone else was getting this issue, I was originally trying to create a thread for a Hydraulic cylinder, but I made screw just to make sure I could get the issue to appear again. I know its most likely because I'm just missing it, but I'm…

Can't extrude spline problem
Hi! I traced an image with the spline tool and with the line tool, but I can't seem to be able to extrude it. Any help/advice is appreciated... I am a beginner. Attatched is a picture of what I am trying to extrude and a link to a copy of the project.…

Sketch not able to be extruded?
I have sketched the Survivor logo, and now I want to extrude it. However, when I try to extrude, I can't select the sketch or any of the parts of it. The error for the extrude is: "Extrude did not regenerate properly: Select face or sketch region to extrude." I am pretty sure this is a bug or something, because I have done…

Can't understand why I can't enclose my surfaces properly
Hi There everyone, I am trying to enclose a ramp-like shape but the Enclose tool does not like the input of the surfaces. Does anyone see why ? Thank you in advance for any advice :smile: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/d3b7d89f4f57b8637828f045/w/5d15d5116763c38198ce0a68/e/27e329c2f0ff9a1fd96d76b7

Extrude to another slightly differently shaped sketch
I'm trying to extrude from one sketch so another that has a slightly different shape. I tried extruding to another face (stern plane) and selecting the plane of the second face but it preserves the shape of the original shape (bow). I assume this is a relatively easy operation but I haven't been able to find the solution…

Feature Script: How to set the "oppositeDirection"-Tag for extrude?
Hey! I'm starting with feature script and work on a small script that simply needs a thoughhole. I ask the user for a point (around which I draw a circle) and a face to which the hole is going to. This part of the script looks like this: annotation { "Name" : "Vertex for center", "Filter" : EntityType.VERTEX,…
