featurescript

Super elipses for reference: http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/VisualizingSuperellipses/ I'm trying to create a superelipses featurescript, but am having some trouble getting the shape to behave the way I want. The two solutions I can think of are to 1) make geometry and then constrain it (so that the corner fillets are…

It seems that 3D splines created in FeatureScript can not be extruded or lofted to create solids with them. When drawing closed curves with opFitSpline I can't even select them in the Extrude command. I am doing something wrong? 

Is it possible to get a feature-type enum to display as "tabs" rather than a drop-down like it does for the native boolean operation? I was able to do this in a custom feature if I declared a BooleanOperationType enum and imported onshape/std/booleanoperationtype.gen.fs at the top, but not if I defined my own operation…

Made a FeatureScript to automate the modelling of O-rings. Enjoy! Amateur programmer here :) https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ae242486af63d55695d994a6/w/bd934a52d0bc030cc75b310f/e/6393ddee213a083563197321

Hi, After creating a sketch in FS and (for example) extruding it, I remove the sketch with opDeleteBodies. However, the outline (edge) of the sketch still remains. What am I missing here? You can see it in "Nuts & Bots Generator"…

I'm working on a feature which will remove material from a model to make a poor man's linear bearing for 3d printed parts. I've managed to construct half of the feature properly, however I'm having trouble removing some additional material from the inside of the hole to reduce friction. In the model attached below (V1) I'm…

Hi, I've haven't found any functions for manipulation of Vector and Line objects. Something like: var line1 = line(vector(x1, y1), vector(d1, d2)); var line2 = opRotate(line1, vector(p1, p2), 90 * degree); var vector3 = opIntersection(lineA, lineB); Am I missing something or do I really have to write them myself? I know…

Hi, I'm creating some corners with skArc but some are ending up inside-out! I'm using the getArcMidPoint function posted here earlier. All the small arcs in the picture below should be "outies" and the large center one "innie". Here's the code for the lower left one (ll and ur are vectors) start = ll + vector(0 *…

Would someone be kind enough to look at the script in this document https://cad.onshape.com/documents/623b04759dbfa9159178fe48/w/3f75f7adc024168001e48971/e/ebff95d2dd43547b3b99a055 and point me in the right direction to fix the circularPattern. I am trying to make a flange for joining sections of pipe

Im trying to use FeatureScript to replicate an automated process I have built in Proe using trail file. Id like move the core build process from Proe into OnShape. The Proe trail is building a PCB from an intermediate text file (IDF) that describes the board outline, slots, and holes and also includes the components and…

Hi, As a Design and Technology College teacher from Y7 through to Year 12 (Australia) I was wondering if a 'Feature Script' could be developed/made to 'Only' allow certain comands to be visible so that young students could focus on the skill set on 'display'?....or are there ways to 'turn off' skill sets? ...by the way…

So, my first stab at FS is going to be a "Part Draft" feature. I just want to query for a neutral plane, and a body - and I want the feature to split the body with the plane, then draft both sides. I figured I'd start with the draft, then incorporate the split. I could get the draft working when I queried for the faces,…

For example, I have a pipe network. I want to query for all of the inside surfaces of the pipe, and I don't want the outside surfaces or the end faces of the pipes. Another example: I have a cavity (like a mold tool), and I want to query for just the inner surfaces. Thanks!

I was really hoping to get through a tutorial without asking for help... So much for beginner's luck! As soon as I add the Extrude feature in FS, the slot feature goes red in the part studio. It's does not want to extrude the surface. Did this happen to anybody else? Here's the screenshot: Probably some n00b mistake...…

Hi all, I'm starting to fiddle around with FeatureScript, and have an idea for a feature that I'd like to build out. I've run into some trouble, and would appreciate any suggestions folks have. My Idea: Briefly, I'll explain what I'm trying to do. I want to create a feature to automatically split cylindrical features with…
