Problem/Question: I am trying to cut into the [insert correct terminology here] but in a way that it cuts more evenly into the extrude, rather than simply cutting it from one direction. I'd like to make that space for curved headlights + an extra…

Hi I created two curves using the spiral tool on a revolved surface. The projection of the curve on the surface of my solid worked and I was able to create one sweep. My second sweep shows me some red points tough. I do not understand what they want to tell me and how to find out what I need to create my sweep the way I…
How would I do this twisted surface that makers muse did?
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…
