Re: Editing Logic Function Bug
Editing logic only runs when a user manually makes a change to a feature parameter. It is not triggered by external part studio changes or changes to configurations or input variables. This is by design since otherwise, editing logic functions would need to be run every time a feature is regenerated, which would add… -
Re: Hide dimensions in sketch
Classic example of what NOT to do in a sketch; incorporating details of what are essentially other functional features. Keep sketches simple and focused on just one functional feature of the design. This holds true for all feature based modelers, not just OS. There should be no reason to need a hide/show dimension… -
Re: Measuring the distance between objects
Hi Alex, Is there any reason you want to do this with the API? If you just want to know the distance, you can select any two entities and measurement information will appear in the bottom right corner of the graphics area (clicking the little up arrow next to this will give additional information). If you would like to use… -
Re: opRevolve help, syntax
I can see two issues -- the first is like you suspect that your query is not resolving. This is because, even though you named the sketch variable "thissketch", the sketch id is just id, whereas you're querying for id + "thissketch". Changing the sketch creation line to: <span>var thissketch = newSketch(context, id +… -
Re: How do I scale skText in-situ from featurescript?
You can control the text position and size by adding the following to the definition map: "firstCorner" : vector( xPosition, yPosition), "secondCorner" : vector(xPosition+1*inch, yPosition + textHeight) Substitute the desired variable or value for xPosition, yPosition, and textHeight. Note that skText always starts from… -
Re: Feature Name Template includes container symbols
Everything you're saying does make sense. The difficulty here is that for user-input strings, it is helpful to see the quotes there. (consider the variable feature, which reads e.g. #x = "foo"). The way I see to solve this problem is for us to have a special FeatureScript type named, say, TemplateFormattingString, which… -
Inserted Construction Plane Rotates Itself About Major Axis?
Long story short, I'm trying to create a skeleton model for the range of motion of a joint using a master sketch, but I'm having issues with one specific reference plane. I have the joint angle configured with a variable, and then a plane normal to the rotated endpoint of the joint. However, I've found that, when I rotate… -
New feature to share: Scale
I have been impressed with the excellent help on this forum and now I am sharing a new feature called Scale that I created with that assistance. I needed to be able to place a scale (think an axis with labels for the ticks) on objects in my drawings. The Scale feature is meant to be a fairly general solution to that… -
Work in progress - fake lighting for a pumpkin project
I'm currently working on faking some lighting for a pumpkin modeling project, and I figured I should share my progress along the way. Right now, I'm trying to get the lighting to look good, and then I'll work on a more generalized solution for all sorts of lit backgrounds and objects. Hopefully, I'll eventually turn it… -
Traverse polygon to get projected 2D points of 3D face
I'm attempting to write some FS to extract 2D shapes for laser cutting. I found an Auto Layout feature that gets me most of the way there. Unfortunately I'm stuck on my misunderstanding of seemingly basic FS concepts. This line of code is a good place for me to point to in confusion: var faces = evaluateQuery(context,…
