How create a Geodesic line on the surface of a cylinder?
ⵊ am making a decorative bead and am using a Onshape document to give a clear picture of what the disign should be. It will be a jade bead with a silver inlay. A GEODESIC is a term that ⵊ know from physics. It is the shortest path between 2 points on a curved surface. Think of the line that an airplanes path taces on the…

Excel inputs to configurations, over multiple instances
I want to plot "topographic maps" of a specific excavation area, that change over time, to compare how much changes between any two "snap shots". The attached Excel worksheet shows (A-K) columns and (1-8) rows to define the location of each depth reading on a horizontal reference "ground plane". The columns are parallel…

FeatureScript parametric surface
Hi there Working with FeatureScript Parametric Surface: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/57a62df8e4b03de4c9fcf154/w/f6d71f3d862b522902efcd68/e/ece65382fcd820281a9ee704 I'm trying to model a shape derived from the superellipsoid model: where a, b, c, p0, p1 is known. So if i express z = f(x,y), i can create the following…

Improvements to Onshape - September 14th, 2021
We are in the middle of September and this release extends across all areas of Onshape! Let’s have a look! GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS CREATE FOLDERS IN THE INSTANCE LIST To get a better overview and structure in the instances list, instances can be packed into folders to hide, suppress or delete these instances collectively.…

How to blend tube intersection
So i've recently got myself an Ender 3 and I though it'd be a good exercise to try and replace a connector used for a small marquee. Here's what i've got so far https://cad.onshape.com/documents/b4a5f33f86870770968039da/w/090cf0dd1cb96a312af51725/e/5a48876a1a62859f23113984 I'm near ready to print off a sample and see how…

Best surface measuring strategy?
What is a good method for measuring points on a surface within featurescript? Is there a "create mesh" that I can apply to the surface first then measure those points? There must be more efficient way than what I am imagining: - Split the surface into a grid - Measure the split points from a plane

Meta Sculpt Surface Modeling Tool
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…

Flat-Head Screw Hole
How do I place Flat-Head Screw Holes on a curved surface? I need to specify the location so that they align with the mating part. I have included a simple sketch and would like to add the holes on the inside of the part so the screws point outward.…

helical sweep
In public "Face Cam" , 2015-12-16, the cam face in question is made by a helical sweep of a rectangle lying in a radial plane. The bottom end of this face meets an arc produced by removing a radial extrusion. However much fiddling is done, the geometry prevents these two surfaces from blending as well as might be desired.…
