  • How to do extrude cut or similar?

    Hi folks. I'm trying to model a train's sand dome which sits on top of a round boiler. I would like to cut out a flange to sit on top of the boiler, which the dome sits on top of. How can I cut out the flange piece? See video example here @2:40: https://youtu.be/Xfv6L9jD988?t=174 The OnShape model is here:…

  • Projected curve: Error regenerating

    As practice, I'm trying to model a mini stapler from my desk. I started sketch the white "cross" on the back of the stapler, as seen from Top and Right. Now I'm trying to create a Projected curve between my two sketches, but I hit the problem "error regenerating", if I select all edges touching both white and pink areas…

  • Is there any way to wrap a spiral around a spline defined revolved surface?

    I'm trying to define a spiral cooling channel in a rocket nozzle. This is strictly a CAD exercise - I'm trying to sketch up the thrust chamber and nozzle of the LR-101 Vernier rocket engine. I think I understand how to do this using a spiral defined path followed by a sweep of a disc. Unfortunately the spiral can only be…
