Sheet Metal: proper settings for leather and fabric.
Building a lightsaber with my son. I am planning on wrapping the hexagonal handle in leather or a durable fabric. I got the basic sheet metal stuff figured out, but what should I use for bend radius and k-factor?

FeatureScript for modifying sheet metal bends
One of the things I do very frequently is sheet metal bend perforations - to do this in Onshape now I sketch directly on the sheet metal flat and remove material from the flat. However, this is a very tedious process as I need to manually add each cutout for each bend. What I'd like to know (as someone with no…

Basic sheet metal part construction
Hello all. I haven't used sheet metal in Onshape before and wanted to ask how others would go about modeling this simple bent bracket? See attached sketch. What route should I take to model this? Will be using 1/16" Aluminum. Thank you for having a look.

Sheet metal pattern from mirrored models
I have a need for right and left hand sheet metal parts. I used the sheet metal feature to model the right hand part and then mirrored it to make the left hand part. The flat pattern window helpfully displayed both right and left side-by-side. So, I expected that when I created a drawing, they would appear side-by-side in…

Sheet metal circular section
Hello, In the following example document I want to cut a round segment off the sheet metal part. But I want that there is no free cut at the edge because a sheet metal is to be welded on the front side. Can I smooth out the edges in 3D again? Greetings Hobie…

Sheet Metal Parts - Release Management - Flat patterns
Hi, When a sheet metal part is released, (just the part in the part studio without a drawing) does its flat pattern automatically come with it at the same revision level? Thanks in advance for confirming either way.

Sheet metal: I can't select select edges to bend
I'm trying to create a sheet metal model containing a 90° bend. So I created two sketches on two separate planes. Those two sketches touch each other. I then created a sheet metal model using "thicken" mode and selected the sketch regions from my two sketches. Until this point, everything worked great. However, I can't…

cant add holes in flat pattern
I am trying to get parts into OnShape while I have a minute so we can transition from SWKS. I'm trying to add holes with the hole feature in the flat pattern, Hole feature isn't recognizing the sketch points. Any comments appreciated.

How do I get my flange to resolve?
I'd like this flange on both sides of the model. Model file in question is Inserter. Below are a few attempts at getting this to work - the problem seems to occur when the first flange is created on the other side.…

Featurescript - Sheet Metal Thicken
Hello, I have a simple task. I am trying to create a sheet metal model by thickening it from a sketch in a featurescript. My FeatureScript creates the sketch correctly, however I am uncertain on how to use the sheet metal commands. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Flat sheet metal part as a solid?
Hi, Is it possible to convert the flattened sheet metal pattern into a new solid part? I've use the feature to create the net of a shape for a fan duct, and I want to be able to 3D print the result (at .6mm thick) and fold it up. However I'd like to add a couple off internal tabs for alignment which would be printed in…

Collision in the bending part
Hello, I want to move on this part of the two open edges so far that the tips meet on the outside. These are abraded after laser cutting so that the seam can be welded without adding material. Is there a way to cancel or ignore the collision to produce the part despite "error"?…
