Chamfers acting inconsistently on a repeated feature?
Hello, I tried to add chamfers to this repeated feature but for some reason they look different on the bottom pair of spokes. I checked to see if I missed something on these spokes or added something the others don't have, but I swear they're all identical. Why is this happening? Is this a bug, or is there something…

Help with surfacing and structuring surfaces
How can I adjust this model so that I can set curvature continuity at the circled boundary. Should I restructure or is there a way to trim back and blend? For context, right now, the top edge of the surface left of the circled boundary has g0 with the edge of the surface right of it which messes with the continuity. How do…

Need help creating steps on a Nose Cone
Hi, I'm working on a school project where I need to model a bunch of tiny steps onto a nose cone. The finished product will basically be a nose cone with a bunch of concentric ridges (1000+). I have the nose cone modeled, but I'm having trouble creating the little ridges. I've tried using feature pattern, but it doesn't…

Having Trouble with Complex(?) Lofts
So I'm trying to make some plant pots that I can 3d print at home on my bambu, and I can't pin down why this loft isn't happy. the two sketches are the same, excpet that the top one is a little larger. Both are fully parameterized, created by usind a pattern that repeats 2 semicircles about the central point. Even if I…

HELP: Tangent constraint removes sketch face.
Hello, weird interaction I'm fighting: Connecting a line to spine using a tangent constraint removes the face of the sketch. Unsure if it's a bug or something I'm unintentionally doing is causing it to happen. Any suggestions?

Lofting Multiple profiles
I'm designing a turbo header for a 6 cylinder engine, but I cant figure out how to loft the 6 tubes into one for the flange. I'm not experienced so I'm probably just missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated!

Problem with curved pattern
Hello, I have a specific question about a groove pattern on my part. I want grooves to go around 1/4 of the entire part (you can see the lines where i was splitting the part for the area for the groove). i tried it with an curve pattern but the result is not what i want as you can see in the image. Also, these grooves…

Part of my airfoil cutout keeps scaling as I try transform it a few millimetres forward???
I made a cutout of an airfoil and want to move it forward about 7mm from where it started to make space for a leading edge slat that I am attempting to create. I am currently copy and pasting the sketch, re-aligning it to it's original position, then moving it forwards, but the cut-out section of the airfoil keeps on…

Onshape Glassworks API
Hello, My name is Gage I am looking for help with a project I am working on. I am trying to essantially search my assembly for all sheet metal parts, check those sheet metal parts size and then export those sheet metal parts as DXFs. The problem I am running into is that I can do that in a part studio but once I try to do…

Could someone please help diagnose how a guiding line to my loft is not connected to a profile? 😭😭
I have been trying to create guidelines for the shape of my winglet and when lofting the 1st part of the winglet I get the issue that one of the guidelines is not connected to one of the profiles. I have been getting it quite a few times but in these cases the disconnect was pretty noticeable so I could tell how to join…

CAM Studio Tools and Tool Changes
Hello Onshape Forum, I have been using Onshape for almost 2 years now, and I was so excited when I found out that Onshape was adding a CAM Studio feature. However, throughout my usage of this new tool, I have run into a few issues. First of all, I have access to a wide range of bit types at my disposal. However, some types…

Need Help With a Project....
Hi all, First I've enjoyed learning OnShape as a complete newb, but I've been beating my head against the wall with what is probably a simple task. I started on a whim for a retro 8-Track tape rack that is supposed to look like a wrapped Christmas package. I've been beating my head against a wall trying to repeat an…

Auto-populating Part Numbers and/or Names
As best I can tell, part names are automatically generated by Onshape when parts are initially created with the nomenclature Part [Number in design hierarchy]. Part numbers can be created automatically as well such that you can also use a numbering scheme that has a continuous counter that goes up for any part that is…

Issue Filleting Wing(Loft) to Fuselage(Loft).
Hello, I'm having trouble adding a fillet between the Wings and Fuselage in this Project. I can't choose a radius even remotely close to what im after. I would like to add maybe 10 to 15 mm but whenever I try to fillet with more than 1 mm it fails. Creating a 0.5 mm fillet works. A 1mm Fillet prompts the error: "Fillet…

Surfaces Won't Turn Solid
Hi, I am relatively inexperienced with working with surfaces in Onshape, and have ran into problems when trying to make them solid parts. I am designing a logo that uses hundreds of surface lofts to enclose the top and bottom plates, but the enclose tool doesn't work for me and I run into issues in many of the surfaces…
