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!

How to extrude a feature horizontally from an inclined surface without it following the face normal?
Hi everyone, I am designing a model with an inclined (angled) surface. I want to project/extrude a feature (like a cylinder) horizontally (parallel to the Top/Global plane) starting from this angled face.Currently, when I use Loft or Extrude, the software either forces the extrusion along the face normal (90 degrees to the…

How to quickly seperate parts by edges or projection?
Before After I'm don't know how I can describe the question properly. But here is a demo project file, I tried 3 different way to achive the result, None of them are simple enough. Method 1: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c7c8efb1042f752ba49d0a08/w/c627768566ebe12fa5ec4657/e/42e3261f2580997d0f91c2a5 Method 2:…

Imprint document version on parts?
I design parts for 3D printing. I'd love to be able to have the document's version number on the parts. I go through so many minor iterations! So basically I want the version number to be in a Text object in a sketch and automatically update. Possible?

TAMBOUR SIDEBOARD
Hi! New to the forum, if any more info is needed just lmk :-) I'm a high school student trying to make a sideboard/tv cabinet with a tamboured door. I have made the "frame" for the sideboard in an assembly, and the whole door (with revolute mates) in another. I'm struggling to assemble the tambour to slide along the track,…

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…

Replace instances of a linear pattern with new part or configuration
Hello! I am trying to make a configurable grid. I have a single cell designed up and have configurations controlling the length and width. The grid can be 1x1 up to 6x6. I am trying to change the configurations of the corner instances to a configuration of the base cell with a rounded corner. I am also trying to add a…

Making a bend for an extruded object
I made this model and would like to bend it for 45 and 90 degrees left or right. Is there a way to bend an extruded part similar to what the loft functions do? Thank you in advance!

Unsymmetric Loft - only solution to loft half and mirror?
So I've been trying to create a forward fuselage for a RC aircraft. I've got a decent amount of time working with lofts, especially with make wings and alike. however with this particular problem I'm running into the loft generating unsymmetrically, I've been playing around, trying different sketches, matching up each…

Sketches won't loft
I am trying to get the two faces in my document to loft be each time I try the inner profile just goes red. No idea how to fix this, would really appreciate some help. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a029e4e0f14f06e8c8efb638/w/5c0b632cb8f6c2a9d3d007c4/e/e7762b37295653af6d83ecfc

drawing is printing a lot smaller than object measures in onshape
I apologize, I'm new at this, so I am still learning. I didn't want to ask for help since I need to know this, but I've tried for the past 3 days and I'm getting no where. I get everything created in Onshape, export it to an STL file, and open it in Bambu Studio. When I go to print it, it is less than half the indicated…

Moving a part to a different part of the plane
How do I select an entire part to move it out of the way… I created a part (on the top plane), created a mirror of the part, then wanted to enlarge the original part, but it now overlaps the mirrored part.. I just want to move part 1 over to allow the enlargement. I see that a "triad" is supposed to show up but none does…

Configurations Question
I'm designing a box that will hold a small electronics project, basically just an arduino nano type board and a battery, plus some surface features: a hole for a switch, a hole for USB, mounting pegs for the board, etc. I designed two different versions of this for two different boards. One uses USB C, the other mini USB,…

Sweep angle to face
Good day everyone, I am novice designer and have been trying to learn Onshape since I graduated from undergrad. My first self project was to recreate a simple distillation apparatus. However I am having some issue, trying to create the condenser part. The condenser should pierce through the cylinder until the inner wall.…

How to Make Threads on a Bolt?
Hello all! I am trying to create a tensile tester that has bolt-like ends. I've found some decent tutorials on how to create a bolt itself using the helix tool and a triangle sketch to create the thread, however my issue is that I'm not sure how they size the triangle to adjust for the diameter of the thread they want. I'm…

Configuration Variables MisMatch
I've ben struggling with some configuration properties. With all of the tech out there I still cant figure out what I've done wrong. I have set a variable property called "Label" that I'd like to assign to each of my configurations. However, there is a mismatch between what I've set vs what is shown. When I select the…
