Re: How do I make a cone?
It occurs to me there's yet another way to model a cone, which (on the face of it) requires an addition to the extrude options which is not currently available in OnS I can confidently predict it will arrive sooner rather than later, not because of any inside knowledge, but because it is rather fundamental. I'm talking… -
Extrude to another slightly differently shaped sketch
I'm trying to extrude from one sketch so another that has a slightly different shape. I tried extruding to another face (stern plane) and selecting the plane of the second face but it preserves the shape of the original shape (bow). I assume this is a relatively easy operation but I haven't been able to find the solution… -
Cannot loop through opExtrude more than 10 times
Hello, I was recently working on a FeatureScript when I discovered that an opExtrude contained in a loop was failing unexpectedly. I did some investigating, and soon discovered that it was consistently failing on the 10th iteration. Here is the extrude in question: println(id + unstableIdComponent(i) + "extrude"); try {… -
Re: difficulties with circular pattern of an opSphere
@björn_britz I took a look at your document, and it looks like you're trying to do these boolean operations on `opExtrude`? `opExtrude` does not have a boolean option. The `extrude` function (and therefore the extrude feature of the part studio) has those boolean options by way of first calling `opExtrude` to make the… -
Re: Improvements to Onshape - June 6th, 2025
I'm not one of the devs at Onshape but I've bullied their sheet metal kernel enough to make some educated guesses how things work under the hood. The main barrier to lofted sheet metal is guaranteeing that the seed surfaces defining the sheet metal bodies are developable and zero gaussian curvature underneath. Cylinders… -
Re: Best method to select multiple sketches and iterate through them
Hi Carl, What you've got looks like the right pattern to be using, and pretty much exactly how I'd write it if you want that behavior, assuming that the behavior you want is for each region to be extruded normal to its face. Another way of writing the inner part of your loop (which is essentially what ends up getting… -
Re: Having the legend "question" above the box where you want a title is .... not good.
@buk_browseruk Man, that is so basic, you really need to read the manual. There is a "plane angle" option in the plane tool, and there are curve types called "construction curves" that won't 'screw up' your extrude. Now, after you used that, you only need to: A - Use the split tool with the angled plane on your cylinder… -
Re: Extruding in for loop
Hello @ilya_baran I was trying to delete the multiple sketches and extrusions that I created in my for loop. When I used the "extrude" + i format I was able to query all iterations using qCreatedBy( id + "extrude") However, when I used your proposed version the for loop works which is great! but the query I showed fails to… -
Re: Extrude problem: face of sketch only "extrudes" as a plane, not a solid (and not even then)
Hi Jascha, I found the problem, it looks like there were a few vertices that were doubled up in the areas that you noticed. If you pull these vertices apart the sketch will extrude properly. should be and should be I'm guessing that the body being generated was intersecting itself, which is why the extrusion was failing.… -
Bug Report? Or By Design?
I'm surprised I haven't run into this before, but a very simple extrude just failed for me. I just have a rectangle fully enclosing a shape where one point of a corner rectangle is on a circle.
