Sheet Metal

I am trying to extend the side walls but OnShape fails whether I extrude in any direction. I can only create a new object however then boolean will fail here is a link to the document itself should anyone wishes to inspect:…

Hi there, I trying to mock a drone and to build it from cardboard. I have a laser cutting machine that I will export DXF from Onshape. I built the part, and with Sheet metal, I used the Convert option. I wonder why the sheet metal add this two long beams at the back of my plane. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks…

Hi everyone, I’m working on a custom FeatureScript for automated sheet‑metal nesting. The goal is to: - flatten all selected sheet‑metal parts - auto‑rotate them based on grain direction - place them onto a virtual sheet - draw grain‑direction arrows - draw bend‑direction arrows - generate a quantity list - and eventually…

Is it possible to "pull" a tab out of a flange? I want the red highlighted sketch to become a tab where it's material is cut out of the yellow outlined flange. I need to use flange instead of a bend because I want onshape to calculate the amount of material I need and bend will "shrink" the outline of the original sketch…

importing flat pattern into a drawing, it gets cluttered up sometimes with the fold details. is there a way to delete/hide it, or even shrink the font down smaller?

Hey, I am currently trying to write a quick feature script to transform a sheet metal bend corner into a "slotted bend" (like described nicely over at Hackaday a while back: https://hackaday.com/2016/05/18/the-art-and-science-of-bending-sheet-metal/ ). This can already be easily done manually by drawing a sketch with a…

Working on yet another sheet metal script and I'm really close to completion on a build that's ready for deployment but I'm having issues getting bend relief geometry to generate on the ends of my bend segments of sheet metal parts. I suspect my issue is that I was trying to apply bend relief attributes to corners that are…

I'm doing a sheet metal part and added holes but these holes don'y show up in the flat view, what can it be ?

-Link to features up front- There are probably a few among the users of this forum who are CAD veterans who might remember a fun little suite by Autodesk called 123D that had a powerhouse of an fabrication tool in 123D Make. It could take an object as an input and turn it into slices of stacked cardboard or paper templates…

Here's an image of the desired part geometry as a reference: I would like to model this as a sheet metal part, but I'm not sure how to create identical geometry with the flange feature. Here are the existing flange feature details: It appears that when deselecting "hold adjacent edges", the effect is only applied to the…

Hi All, When I create a sheet Metal object via feature script. In the sheet Metal Context window, It shows "Unknown" instead of the usual "Sheet metal model 1"… How do we control this behavior in featurescript? Thanks in advance!!!

I wrote a FeatureScript to create specific hex holes for blind rivets. Since we plan to use this feature frequently in our sheet metal parts, I’d like to make the script as stable and robust as possible. I would really appreciate it if someone could review my script and share any feedback or suggestions for improvement.…

I've got a sheet metal tab and slot feature that originally was written to generate geometry using some more obvious methods that didn't require me to understand the intricacies of the black box of the sheet metal functions in Featurescript, but unfortunately due to a bug with Move Face and Modify Joint breaking edge…
