  • Symmetrical Extrusion

    Hello, I created a sketch which I made symmetrical by mirroring it. Now, when I try to create a solid from this sketch onto a circle in another plane using extrusion, the result is not symmetrical. What am I doing wrong? You can see it at…

  • How to Add a Curved Extrusion to a Projected Sketch on a Cylinder?

    Hi everyone, I’m currently modeling my NovoPen 6 insulin pen in Onshape and could use some help with a specific feature. I’ve projected a 2D sketch onto the side of a cylindrical surface, and now I’d like to turn that shape into a smooth, curved bump something like a domed or organically contoured protrusion, not just a…

  • Stand-alone part extrudes, but not when added to the main part - Issue is back again

    I am barely more than a novice. I am working on a simple form: When The internal supports sketch is extruded as a new part, it works great. When I change the extrusion to Add and merge with Part 1, It becomes non-manifold. I don't understand why, or how to fix it. This problem went away for part of a day, but now it is…

  • How to copy extrusion features to all faces of a part

    Hello! I am trying to replicate holes onto every face of a cube, see the project here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/edd2c2326d091f4f6d65ee11/w/e42dfe5f3556605262b9c3d7/e/f5b0640142f49831cf15819d?renderMode=0&uiState=6584b5383de095154ce97ed3 I managed to mirror some of the holes from the front to the back, but am…

  • Fillet edges only on faces in extruded direction

    Is there a query that will give me only the edges on a body that are in the extruded direction (i.e. perpendicular to the sketch plane)? I don't want to fillet anything on the end faces. Queries are still a little bit of a mystery to me. This seems to work if I just extruded a body: var ExtrudedEdges is Query =…

  • Error when attempting to loft

    I've been trying to loft this hollow extrusion here but it says that it's a loop and I can't loft on it. The thing is, I previously lofted off of a hollow extrusion. I'm confused.

  • 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!

  • How to align extruded parts to rotated part?

    New to onshore so be gentle. I have a simple sketch with 3 parts. The first part is a full rotation on the right axis with a radius of 6mm. The 2nd and 3rd parts are extruded blind and pulled out to 6mm. When viewing the model the rotated part does not match up with the extruded parts, It is about 1.1mm larger than the…

  • How to extrude from a circle to square

    Hello! I want to make a fan duct that would go from circular shape to a square. The result is something like this: How can one design something like this in Onshape? Thank you!
