Tips on troubleshooting issues with boolean
Apologies for the vague title as I'm struggling with how to ask this in a clear way. I've been working on incorporating more organic surfaces into my design and have been running into issues where an operation fails with no clear reason and I get the "boolean operation would result in a non manifold body" error. Here's an…
how to extrude a surface up to another surface
In spa patio | Part Studio 1 Copy 1 (onshape.com) I have the lower (gold/brown) thicken and the upper (orange) extrude and I'd like to estimate the volume between them. I figured I'd just extrude one up to the other but the Extrude feature does not seem to let me pick the lower (thicken) as a "face" to extrude up. If I use…
Sheet Metal flat has wrong orientation, how can I solve this?
I converted a imported sheet metal part to a sheet metal model. During the selection of the bend cylinders the flat view suddenly changed orientation. I tried different sequences of selecting faces and bends, but the result was always the same, on selection of one specific bend the flat view gets rotated. It looks like the…
Modeling a Square Tube in different ways to lear featurescript
I think is the best when you can get something done in more than one way and feature script allows that. I don't mean to find the easy way, I want to learn from it. 1 - Create 2 square sketchs, Extrude both, remove the smaller from the biggest with Boolean. That one was easy! --> Create 2 Sketchs skRegularPolygon(sketch1,…
To Merge Extrude or not to Merge
Would other users find it useful if "Extrude" type functions were merged? This would give you the option / advantage of toggling between a related but different feature functions without having to suppress / delete and add the other feature as necessary. For example if you chose "Extrude with draft" then at a later stage…
