Hi, I’m a complete beginner and could use some help with this tube.
Hi, I’m a complete beginner and could use some help here. There need to be three locking tabs 120° at the end of the tube (like a bayonet mount), but unfortunately, I can't create a sketch on the curved surface to draw the profile and then cut it out. Does anyone have any ideas?…

Two Lofts conjoining, how to remove parts so it creates a "Y" tube.

Is it possible to form a helix on a non straight cylinder?

I thinking it would be easier to first make the straight tube and then apply the bending but I don't know which feature to use. I tried with…
Is there any way to prevent laser joint sockets from penetrating both walls of a tube?
I have successfully created pins and sockets on tube joints, however i cant find a way to prevent the sockets from extending right through the far wall of the second tube. See example https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7b1fcf924bc3bd3b89b96777/w/702e3f28adb5dedf3c2d04c3/e/bc9a81099715333be1df8ed5 am i overlooking something?
