surface modeling

Hi, I'm currently following the Handle tutorial on the Surface Modeling course: https://learn.onshape.com/learn/course/onshape-surface-modeling/manipulating-surfaces/exercise-handle?page=2 I seem to be stuck trying to create the loft on steps 4 and 5, specifically selecting the guide curves. I'm not sure what I'm doing…

Because of @EvanReese's series on equations, variables, etc. in Onshape, I ended up getting sucked into the FeatureScript rabbit hole. Needless to say, I'm hooked. I'm not a real programmer, but I'm still pretty happy with coming up with something that'll automate a pain point in my CAD workflows. Plus, then I get to share…

Makers muse recently did a video Going over Surface modelling in CAD using fusion 360 and said that most of this is applicable to Onshape as well. I wanted to follow along with the tutorial but I'm running into this issue immediately because onshape doesn't have the tool highlighted in red. So How would I make this twisted…

Hello, I am at my wits end, and am hoping someone can guide/help me along to finish my part design. I've included photos below of the part i am trying to model, and my current workspace state. Workspace:…

So I have this boundary with three sets of airfoils inside them and I am trying to create a surface wherein this entire boundary acts as the domain and these three airfoils remain as the gap. I have to export this surface to Ansys later on for CFD analysis of these three airfoils so I am having an issue using the Fill…

Does anyone know how I can keep the edge when extruding a sketch with a split line as a surface? Here is an example of what I am talking about:

Hi onshape forum! I'm trying to create a ruled surface and it fails. I cannot figure out why it does and I'm currently unable to figure out a workaround. I'm referring to the last feature in this document (a simplified recreation of my issue):…

Hi everyone, I'm trying to arrange a specific type of body along a Möbius strip in Onshape. However, when I use the pattern feature to distribute the body along the strip, the body does not rotate as it follows the path. I need the body to rotate correctly to match the twist of the Möbius strip, but I haven't been able to…

I am new to FeatureScript and am looking to create a (seemingly) simple script that places points along a curve, evenly spaced. Without getting into other spacing options, I would first like some guidance on how to do this given only a distance and a quantity, starting from the end. I tried to dissect the very nice Curve…

I have finally published something - I've been messing around with this tool for ages, but finally here it is: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/d675d2ccbcf6336cf8ef52bb/v/8384e60ced2c089ec8e3d2a9/e/853bddb5d9a1fffded23ae80 For advanced curve and surface modeling it is usually critical to see exactly where the control…

Hi , simple question, do we have some 'dark mode' in onshape ? (As white screen puts a lot of stress on eyes). I've tried a few chrome extensions but they are not working for me. Thanks.

I've been toying around with something similar to @rodrigo_rivas_costa 's Bevel Gears script, but for spur + helix + tapered + inner [ring] gears. Think helical spur gears like you'd get from the usual script, but with a taper towards the outer edge. Analytical solutions like Rodrigo's are beyond my math skills, but I've…

I'm trying to create a model of a microscope objective lens assembly. This is the first element in the series. It's a bit of an unusual shape, but essentially it's a cylinder with a 45° bevelled edge (the chamfer tool worked really nice, by the way). It's basically done, but I need to make a shallow indent/depression…

I found that an edge of a ruled surface and the edge of the sketch used as the path of the ruled surface cannot be used interchangeably as profiles/guides in Loft creation as shown below.…

Quick question, I'm having way too many instances where the "width" option on the fillet tool fails to run. In most scenarios I consider the geometry to be straightforward. In the example below I tried adding the fillet to both solid and surface geometry. If I change the measurement option to radius the fillet will work on…

I've developed a surface sculpting script called Meta Sculpt, which is based on the excellent Sculpt Face feature by @maximilian_schommer. Meta Sculpt allows users to sculpt a surface face by adjusting the underlying surface using point and arrow manipulators or editable/configurable field values. Multiple points are…
