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!

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…

Loft with two guides doesn't work
Hey all, I had already often problems with lofts, but the actual loft gets me crazy. The Feature "Winglet Übergangsbogen" doesn't work. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a138fe94d7d1cc480c782009/w/549f911486f55a507d4050ca/e/2f3fd09df23d66ba4577e91c?renderMode=0&tangentEdgeStyle=2&uiState=6a4f6b48244defd18d26d0db No matter…

Help with lofts and boolean/split
I am trying to create a diverter for my minisplit ac. I want to attach it to a 6in hose so I created a cone and then used Routing Curves and lofts to attach the parts that connect to the minisplit to the cone. I hacked it together and it seems like it would work but it's ugly. Any advice on a better way to connect the two…

Loft creating a negative space of what I need
I'm attempting to create a solid loft with a conical surface, starting from a recessed central hole and splaying out to a larger forward oval. I've tried lofting using the floor and rim of the cavity as the references, but I get the error message about closed loops. When I create a surface spanning both holes and loft from…

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…

simple loft the wing profiles
Hi, learning Onshape for a month or so, Im trying to loft between two identical wing shapes, spline with over 100 points. I did split to upper and lower part as suggested. Those wing profiles are identical and on the same axis, only offseted on X. The loft is rough and doesnt match the spline. I started to make offset…

I try to create the head of a fantasy panda. The result is not as smooth as I wanted it to be. So I'm asking you if you recognize mistakes or space for improvement. For that I'd like you to quickly guide you through my process: I started with this sketch. The head consists of two splines. I made sure the had the same angle…

Tapered Recess Creation?
I've been struggling with one aspect of a molded boss feature I'm developing. I've tried a lot of different ways to solve this but getting a general case method that is robust is surprisingly challenging. I'm working on a molded boss feature to rival hole.fs in complexity which takes basic choices for screw type/size and…

How to create Tangent Complex Curves
I'm trying to create a single shape - but one with complex curves: A 'rounded heart' shape. I believe the construction should be relatively straightforward, as the object is symmetrical front/back and left/right I believe the intended way to create such an object is: * Sketch the silhouette of 1/4th of the object from…

Custom Feature: Loft Fillet
Because of @EvanReese's series on equations, variables, etc. in Onshape, I ended up getting sucked into the FeatureScript rabbit hole. Needless to say, I'm hooked. I'm not a real programmer, but I'm still pretty happy with coming up with something that'll automate a pain point in my CAD workflows. Plus, then I get to share…
