Point Cloud
I searched the forum and found threads a few years back pertaining to point clouds and generating surfaces from them. Has this gotten any new tools/ways to get it into Onshape?;) -
Re: Shell is doing something strange
Ok, I think I have gone as far as I can. I pulled the code/featurescript out of both of the above part studios. Saved them to local files, and used VS Code to compare them. All automatically generated identifiers are of course different, which makes checking references hard, but I already tried to do that in the previous… -
Re: Rules for using wiring FS
If the bends in the wire are sharper than the radius of the wire, then it won't be able to create the wire. If you're having problems near the start or end of the wire, you can try adjusting the 'Starting straightness' or 'Ending straightness' or the wire. In general, a smaller radius wire is more likely to succeed. -
Re: Making Custom Threads
@Argo glad to hear it is helpful! One thing to note: for supports, you can add a "support blocker" in Cura (and probably other slicing software) to prevent supports from gumming up the holes if you want. https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012869379-How-to-block-support-generation-in-Ultimaker-Cura -
Re: Assembly Animation Pen, and ease of use request
Thanks for the mention, @john_mcclary ! Yes, I created the above featurescript to help generate four bar linkages in Onshape. The feature could still use some refining so I would be happy to hear your feedback if you end up using it. I will also take a look a the tool you mentioned to get some ideas. -
Re: Cam design software
I have seen an app for cam design in autodesk inventor few years ago. what is the law of motion between driving and driven elements of your cam mechanism? i think one can always generate some closed curve based on motion law with featurescript. like i did for this transmission https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf8vh8ee9hc -
Re: Parametric Curve Extrude.
Hi @ilya_baran , can you possibly help me code this cartesian cycloid curve? R is the radius of the generating circle. I can't seem to get the parametric curve fs to do it, and fear I'm just not understanding the rules of syntax. Best regards, Mike -
Frame Generator Alignment
I'm trying to create a reconfigurable frame. Inside the frame is a drainage system. In some configurations, this system drains to the front, and in some it drains to the rear. Is there any way to fix the rotation of the horizontal frame members to the sketch plane instead of x-degrees about the axis? I know I could just… -
Re: Parametric transformation of bodies and surfaces capabilities.
For affine F, you can use opTransofrm. For the types of F you're thinking about, Parasolid does support this kind of thing and we eventually plan to expose it, but probably not this year -- the challenge is that for this to work well, F must be really fast to evaluate, so we'd need to build some sort of compilation ability… -
Screw threads: Pitch vs Form
In the official tutorial on helical screw threads, an equilateral triangle is used for the thread form. It says something to the effect of, "Make the length of the triangle slightly less than the pitch of the thread." How much less, exactly? Threaded camera lenses and accessories, over the years, have generally come with…
