How to make lofts with guide curves smoother like other CAD software?
In the grey model is a loft made in SW 2025 with 3 guide curves; One on either edge and one over the top. In the beige model is the same loft with the same dimensions made in onshape, but here it creates a sharp, bumpy ridge instead of a smooth curve. Using normal end conditions on top curve does nothing. I know onshape…
"Simple" Beginner Loft Question -- Why is it twisted?
I've created a simple OnShape document. It's a cylinder. A few millimeters above the cylinder is an offset plane. Drawn on that offset plane is a rectangle. The rectangle is extruded 25mm. What we end up with is a box floating above the cylinder. Now… I want to make a Loft that joins the bottom of the box to the top of the…
Help with Lofts on fuselage
New Onshape user, but a lot of experience in CAD and some other 3d software. Having a hard time doing some lofts on an aircraft fuselage design. Any help appreciated.
About loft
Can anyone tell me why I can't loft this again? They are both surface lofts, if I do solid they generate, but surface do not.
How to fix weird loft contours
I'm currently designing a fishing lure using lofts, which is causing some undesirable bulging at the nose. How could I fix this without changing the profile of the bait? I have linked the document below. Thanks!
How can I quickly produce a 90 deg cruved part
Folks, This is shared with OnShape support as well as here is the link https://cad.onshape.com/documents/9b7f1e3c4d4771aad1936caa/w/045a8fc2153e7f77804fb1d7/e/148c7bfb2415fe1ed7334206?renderMode=0&uiState=684a13214810d10f8231970a If you go to the V08 Wire Cvr Copy 1 you can see that I've simply cut and move the pieces 90…
Loft Error - Cannot use faces or regions with inner loops as profiles.
Newbie here so apologies in advance if I'm doing something dumb… I'm trying what I thought was a simple loft between two sketches. One is a copy of the other in an offset plain just a little bit smaller, so I'd like the faces to connect to each other to make sloping walls. This is designed to fit the seat back of my car to…
How do I resolve this Loft?
Hey everyone. I'm still working my way through using onshape and have run into a bit of an issue. Ive been primarily designing more rigid designs and it was time to design something more organic. So Ive been trying to resolve this loft for a helmet I'm recreating but every time I try and apply more than 3 Guide lines for…
Do lofts normally not show on drawings or did I do something wrong?
Novice user needs help with Loft
I am trying to great a rudder shape using loft. Being a novice OnShape User I looked for a similar design to replicated the process. The first link is a similar design copied. The second is my attempt. The loft fails with left and right Guides selected. Selecting one guide works for that edge resulting in a misshaped…
