Newbie Question: Still trying to make that JST connector in the panel wall
Okay, I gave up on the SHELL command. I've created the box I needed off model and got it where I think it should be. I move it (transform) onto the panel wall where it should be located. It appears there mostly fine EXCEPT the wire slot Extrude-Remove won't Remove the panel wall in the opening, despite every attempt I've…

Assembling sub-assemblies
How do I locate (e.g. mate) sub-assemblies within a higher level assembly? I have a sub-assembly of a timber frame with five separate parts in it. When I try to assemble this in the higher level assembly I select some mate constraints, but it only assembles the part the constraint is on, not the entire sub-assembly. There…

Stand-alone part extrudes, but not when added to the main part - Issue is back again
I am barely more than a novice. I am working on a simple form: When The internal supports sketch is extruded as a new part, it works great. When I change the extrusion to Add and merge with Part 1, It becomes non-manifold. I don't understand why, or how to fix it. This problem went away for part of a day, but now it is…

Selecting the correct mate connector axis

New Custom Feature: Rename Beams
This is mostly just recycled code from the beams feature. In our case, it's really nice to have the beams named accurately, including the length, which obviously changes with move faces or what have you. So the idea is that you put this feature after all of your manipulation to the beams, it remeasures the length, and sets…

Subassembly component suppression for Configurations
For the purposes of configurations, I need to "overload" a subassembly with components. In other words, I need to place bolts in the sub-assembly to populate all possible locations used in the upper-level assembly. However, in the upper-level assembly, I cannot suppress the unused bolts for the different configurations. Is…

Newbie stuck with Summerhouse plan
Hi OnShapers - I sat down and started building my design for a Summerhouse in my back garden. All went well until I realised that nearly everything is one huge part - I have a door frame and a working animated door in my Assembly though! I think I can strip out the component walls using SPLIT but cannot get it to "take" -…

So i'm needing to take up his part of the job, and this software actually looks pretty cool, But i'm a little lost on where to find references. What I'm trying to do is make either a 2d or 3d floor plan of our school campus,…
