Hello everyone. I'm trying to layout parts of a speaker cabinet to cut from a plywood sheet on CNC. When using the Auto Layout FeatureScript all but one of the parts is laid out nicely on the sheets. For some reason the script leaves one of the parts "out in space", does not place it on a sheet, and has it angled on a…

So I see that the tangent plane feature seems to only work with cylinders which seems quite limited. I would love to get a tangent plane to a general curved surface. It seems like if I make a minimum bounding cylinder, make the plane around that, then suppress that part I could get the desired plane, but I also cannot…

It's not actually a ball, but I believe this is the same problem. I'm just trying to drill straight into a curve, and/or to make a plane tangent to the curve in the process. None of the plane types seem to work. (Selecting the curve and a point on it just stays red for "Tangent Plane". Point Normal comes out unrelated to…

Do planes have a hidden mate that allows you to change their orientation? I tried creating a 3-point plane both ways, but the plan is "off axis" (aligned to the edge of the pyramid, I assume) no matter what I try. The same is tru if I simply create a sketch on the pyramid's face. But at least with a sketch I can manipulate…

Currently, in onshape a plane can be made from 3 points. Is there a method to use more than 3 points of a non-planar surface to create a "best-fit" plane?

I want to model through API calls, but my sketch is a 3D coordinate point, and I think it needs to be converted before it can be drawn on a plane. However, I am not sure about the rules of coordinates on a plane. Thank you to everyone who helped me.

The square is on Plane 2 and initially the smaller half-circle in Sketch 1 was at 180° so I chose a "Point…

Bit of a whacky case... I'm creating a jig to cut a compound angle on 1" angle iron part (strut). The saw only has one degree of angle (miter saw not compound miter). But by dialing the right miter angle and "pivoting" the angle iron along it's long axis on the saw bed, I can get the same effect. Problem is I need to…

Hello My question :how can I create a normal plane, with an origin point specified on its normal line, and with a pierce point on another specified point..... Let see on a drawing : I created the circle0 with the following code : var R = definition.Radius; var Angle = definition.myAngle; var x0 = definition.Xcoord; var y0…

Hello I want to create a plane normal to a line I tried: evPlane(context, { "point" : qCreatedBy(id + "apex", EntityType.VERTEX), "normalTo" : qCreatedBy( newId, EntityType.EDGE) }); but got the error Precondition of evPlane failed (arg.face is Query) How can I select the point and lines I created, to put into evPlane…

Let's assume I have cube and I want to create a cylinder hole on that cube. The cylinder needs to have a specific angle with respect to the cube surface. I imagine I have to create a plane with that angle. What is the procedure to achieve this? Thank you!
