  • Oval/Polygon Pattern?

    I have an oval-like shape (12-sided polygon) that I would love to pattern a feature onto each face. If it was a regular polygon, I could just use circular, but in this case, it is "squashed" so it doesn't apply as easily. I have tried to make equivalent circle sketches between faces and do multiple circular patterns and…

  • How to achieve equal distances in a hexagon bee pattern?

    Hey, I want to create a hexagon bee pattern on the lid of my raspberry pi case. Like this: But as seen, I cant get the distances to be same. I first made a sketch: Extruded it as new and made a horizontal pattern out of the upper hexagon, the same I did to second hexagon. Then I again made a vertical pattern out of the…

  • Can you create a linear part pattern with the distance between entities growing or shrinking?

    For example, I'm trying to pattern the frets/fret spacing on a guitar and each fret is 1/(2^(1/12)) (about 0.94387) smaller than the next starting at the top of the neck and the first fret is about 1.431 away. the second is 1.3506 away from the first. I tried using variables that built on each other like #fretspace =…

  • Very simple pattern takes forever

    Hi, Years ago I ran into the problem of patterning a sketch and it took forever. The advice was to pattern a part Now I try to make a 20x20 pattern and the performance is really slow. Is that normal? https://cad.onshape.com/documents/77132658b0c906c0b466bc80/w/4c5f7891b0e3bb4b1df4bda5/e/66c031ac896c70b237872a08 The…

  • Variable number of revolved features on cone

    I'm trying to create ribs on a tilted cone, to form a tube connector. I want to be able to change the number of ribs, so I have created #rib_count. My problem is that I cannot get the ribs to change in number correctly. I tried with a linear pattern within a sketch, but such patterns cannot use variables (I have read that…

  • Applying Linear Pattern to inside curved surface

    I'm absolutely stumped, I am trying to apply a Linear Pattern to the underside of an 3 Arch Viaduct Bridge: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ab039effdefc81af5b5cd9c7/w/622fae194371f421edaffbdb/e/809c1cfa691fd4df8292060d , but I cannot get it to work, can anyone with experience in this area please help me overcome this…

  • Honeycomb Linear Feature Remove Pattern missing instances

    I'm trying to create a honeycomb pattern in an extruded cylinder, but when I try to do a linear feature pattern on my extruded remove (the two hexagons at the center), for some reason not all of the pattern instances are extruded (removed from the cylinder). Does anyone know why this is?

  • Linear and Circular Pattern Project

    This is a project I have my students do to learn how to use the Linear and Circular Pattern tools. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1meEt6bfkUYSRGDDeED5KUWY0BEYcze3Vyovsdjbhg2E/edit?usp=sharing
