Re: Buggy Surfaces
The surface isn't "buggy". You are asking NURBS surfaces to do something that they don't really like to do. You've managed to create an interesting degenerate surface. In general, when you revolve (or sweep) something, it's best to have the section normal to the path of the revolve. Typically you sketch the revolve axis in… -

Re: Intro to CAD
In the past, I created my own instructional videos on how to use Onshape for designing, but I discovered that while proficient students appreciated this approach, those who lacked a foundational understanding of the "why" behind CAD often became frustrated and developed negative associations with the software. This year, I… -
Spiral Challenge
I used kevin_o_toole_1 's spiral workaround here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c526017c3b894f329b22c776/w/a189b5aba46e4e78a5fa6ecd/e/9474fe11c7f540f4a5752185 to create my Archemedean spiral in this design, but could not work out how to truncate the centre of the spiral sketch. How do I edit the spiral sketch so it… -
Creating A New Part In An Assembly???
I was a full-time user of Pro-Engineer in the late 90's and early 2000's and have started using Onshape casually over the last year or so. In Pro-E, I would be able to create new parts in an assembly that would be referenced and positioned to existing parts. I have not found a way to do this in Onshape. My current work… -

Re: DXF/DWG Import from Illustrator Not Working
@NeilCooke - The state of the DXF specification is a bloody mess and I'm generally impressed that anyone can get it to do anything much, in general. Between the issues of ownership, the multiple reference builds, and painful parsing architecture, if it weren't just the center of inertia for absolute tonnes of CAD software… -
Re: Creating a surface to extrude
Hi @mario_darceuil Is this what you're after? If so there a a couple of things to fix, and a few names / terminology things to consider. Surfaces are infinitely thin so what we're looking for is a solid not a surface. To generate that we want an extrude, but of a sketch region not a surface. To get a sketch region we can… -
