Sweep Up to a Plane
I am trying to sweep along a Helix but I would like the sweep to go no farther past the plane. This way I can sweep the other side to allow both sweeps to join at one point on the bottom of the part. Is there something I am missing or am I going about this the wrong way.

Measure gap in assembly
I am a newbie to OnShape, but I am simply trying to measure a gap in an Assembly. I want to tweak the part length in a PartStudio sketch but was trying to avoid doing all the math manually. I put it in an Assembly drawing and mated it in place. I can now see exactly how much longer I want to make the part, but I can not…

How to make a candy cane?
I have the basic structure and have used the 3D Spiral special feature to wrap a helix shape around the body. However, this helix shape doesn't "section off" (I'm not sure the proper terminology for this) the sweep of the body of the candy cane. That means I can't change the color of a specific

Hex Infill grid thickness
I am using the HexInfill feature script (I think by @NeilCooke?) and was hoping there was a way to thicken the walls of the hex grid. They are often too thin for a 3D printer slicer to detect and so are ignored. More importantly for the project I am working on I wanted thicker walls for strength. I tried using the thicken…

Searching for part by name?
I want find all parts with same name in a part studio so I can rename them in one go. I can rename parts as a batch, but first I need to find them all. Scrolling through the parts list isn't practical and neither is selecting one by one on the visualization pane---because there can be many parts and because it's too easy…

Layout of sliced file from Kiri:Moto
I've just started using the Kiri:Moto add on to slice some 3D models for laser cutting; can anyone tell me if there is an order to the layout of the DXF - I can't seem to see one (but could be wrong) and it's just making the assembly of the object difficult after laser cutting (it's like a puzzle to work out which piece…

How to use webhooks for translations
I'm using webhooks to check if a model has changed and then create a translation of the model each time it changes. I registered a webhook with 2 events: "onshape.model.lifecycle.changed" and "onshape.model.translation.complete". I get a notification on change, but when I create a translation, I never get the "complete"…

Feeling really silly - Cannot resize part of a part

Transforming Mates around arbitrary points in assembly.
We have been playing with making api calls to onshape assembly (occurrence transforms) and had a bit of a success in transforming parts around origin. In our use case we have multiple Revolute Mates that we want to turn to specific angles through api calls. We can do it through occurrence transforms but the parts have to…

I'd like to be able to pick up both. tolerantEquals looks promising, but not sure if…

Moving a Face and Fillets on small tight objects
