Dart or gusset sheet metal bend stiffening feature
Hello folks I wander if anyone have successfully practiced modeling this sheet metal feature in Onshape:

New Feature: Multi-Mirror
I often work with symmetrical designs in multi-part studios, and many times I have a number of parts to mirror across multiple planes. With the standard mirror feature, I have to use a new feature for each part x the number of planes to mirror about. That means if I have 3 parts to mirror about the top, right, and front…

New Feature: Tween Curve (WIP)
This is a bit of work in progress at the moment but it's semi functional and I need to work on other tools that this tool is the backbone of. Posting now for public comment. Introducing Tween Curve Simply select input curve A and input curve B and input a tween value between 0 and 1 and this tool outputs an approximate…

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…

New FeatureScript: Engineering Grid
Hi everyone, So I made my own ISO grid featurescript. I tried out the other two feature scripts that can create isogrid patterns, and I found that Julia's is fast but rudimentary, and Evan Reese's is immensely powerful but slightly slower than I would like, and is missing a couple of features I wanted. Of course, the next…

Custom Feature: Gear Rack
Realized I needed to design two gear racks for a robotics project, and rather than spend 20 minutes doing it manually, I wrote up a custom feature to automate it with some quality of life features (helical/herringbone teeth, fast regeneration, alignment stuff, blah blah blah) Snag it here if you'd like! 100 tooth regen…

skArc/Constraint syntax and radius calculation error
Hi! So I'm trying to create a custom feature and i've found a problem where i try to create an arc using 'skArc' and later define it using 'skConstraint' with '"constraintType" : ConstraintType.RADIUS' but while the original points defined in "start" and "end" are correct in the part studio the "mid" point and therefore…

Custom Feature: Chamfillet
Link to Feature A common problem with 3d printed models (FDM) is that a fillet on the build plate ends up looking ugly because the printer cannot print a horizontal overhang. Usually, if you are designing a 3d printed part, you then use a chamfer on the bottom face because most FDM printers can print at least a 45 degree…

Can I have multiple feature studios in one Onshape file?
I have a couple of Featurescript features and want to be able to add them to my toolbar. Rather than creating multiple files, I tried creating multiple feature studios in an Onshape model, each with a separate feature. My thinking is that I could organize all my featurescripts in one place, and version them from there.…
