Connections array for opLoft not being applied
Hello! I have been working on creating a featurescript to loft together two identical spur gear profiles at a vertical and rotational (around Z) offset, creating a hyperboloidal profile. the gear profiles generate without issue, and there are no errors in the featurescript, in the code or generation, that are reported. The…

Difficulty Lofting with Guides
Hello! I'm trying to loft the following cross-section to a point: I want to loft along the curved guide lines that lead from the vertices of the cross section to the top point. However, when I try to add those guides into the loft, I get the following error: I believe it's having a tough time reconciling the guide and the…

Slanted plane sketching problem
Hi! I'm basically a complete Onshape beginner, so please bare and be patient with me. I am trying to create a tape dispenser (pic) in onshape, right now working on the body. I've managed to make the bottom part of the body, on which it can already be seen that the front and back have different widths, and the bottom and…

Select chains for surface loft
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3f37cebd6c7c65758dec550e/w/39b3380754d593e97b0ad0ec/e/dc537ba2d743f9883ede6ed9?renderMode=0&uiState=67f19df199fde447b363743f I am trying to create a lofted surface. Why won't OS select the entire chain? All of the sketch profiles are open, but if I recall, they are all tangent (which I…

Is there anyway to loft 4 edges into a smooth surface?
I have this smooth structure I am modeling and it has 4 sides, the top is a 3D spline and there is a curved face at the front and a straight edge on the bottom, and I want the it to end in a radius at the end, is there any way to form these into a smooth surface? I have been able to make it into a surface but not a smooth…

Beginner question; Trouble thickening complex shapes
Hello Everyone, I was hoping to get some more experienced eyes on my project. I'm pretty new to Onshape and CAD design in general, and am still familliarising myself with all the features, so my project may be a bit ambitious. What I'm trying to design is an airbox for a motorcycle, and I'm stuck trying to model what could…

How do I make a Loft of sorts that will make a "curved ramp"?
I want to fill that area with a loft of sorts, that respects the curvature and "eases" the ramp until it reaches the end. How may I do that? https://cad.onshape.com/documents/95348026f22336243da5298c/w/4954531794b31370f3012f6a/e/9ff6052f079dd476ea8925f3?renderMode=0&uiState=67e749df5017516de822cc39

How to use loft tool to combine 2 imported objects with dissimilar geometry
Hi there, new to CAD, new to Onschape, first ever project and very first question: I imported 2 objects that are somehow round'ish and that i want to combine with solid through the loft tool (after doing research i learned that that is what i'm imagining here). I created 2 planes touching the surfaces of the objects that…

Issues with loft function
Hello, I’m quite new to Onshape, and I’m having some issues with the loft function. I’m trying to create a propeller blade (3 cm wide) and add a twist to it. I’ve made curves that the profile should follow, and I used airfoil generators to create the NACA profile. However, whenever I try to use the loft tool to make the…

Transition fillet from cylinder to prism
Hi All, I've looked and read lots on this but I still can't find a solution. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places. I have a cylinder that uses a loft to transition to a rectangular prism. No problems there. I am trying to add fillets to the edges created along the edges from the cylinder to the prism. I have tried…

Won't shell because of certain curves?
Hey, I'm a green newb to OnShape, I started this year but I'm having so much fun, in combination with the 3dprinter. I've made some repairs at home, designed toys with my 8y son (TinkerCad) and designed boxes for tools. My problem concerns the latter. I want to shell out this inlay with a wall thickness of 2mm. It shells,…

Still Having Loft Issues....
So earlier I posted a question regarding my inability to resolve a loft in my project. After receiving some help I was able to get it to "partially" resolve. However I am still unable to use all of my guide lines. The loft continues to fail anytime I add a 3rd guide line and onshape almost always refers to one of the…

Having trouble with Lofting,
Here's my part: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/fc430255fbf1eca8eadc1da0/w/3af8d2c66a8a7904f8b05de3/e/ea3fc394e7d28d545d01b09c?renderMode=0&uiState=67a5a2168b79cd777e09ae77 I'm having two problems with Lofting so far, one where the thickness is an issue which is probably due to the other problem of not having enough…

Do lofts normally not show on drawings or did I do something wrong?
