Re: STL import, how many triangles are ok ?
I am not sure what the resolution is for the survey scans that you would typically receive and what volume they can capture, but below is a screengrab of a CT Scanned part. The two bosses are roughly 15mm away (D) and 12mm high (H). This would be an example of a small part with high resolution and it seems to be performing… -
Re: Global Variables?
@sloan_thrasher Its strange this hasn't been solved despite numerous calls and the obvious necessity. https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/60779#Comment_60779 However so far I do it by a featurescript: 1. next to the tabs press plus - 'create feature studio' 2, insert the code below where "thickness" etc. will be… -
Re: copying a pattern from one side of an extrusion to others (skyscraper)
@nadine_phillips To get the windows from one side of the building to the other, you could use a mirror: https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/mirror.htm You can either use "Face" mode and use the create selection tool to select all the window pockets, or you can use feature mirror selecting whatever features were used to… -
Building Layouts (Floor Plan) -- Seeking Your Advice
I have constructed a building layout (floor plan) for a 2 story office space: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/569e29daf28932c56a2c7a76/w/d3678f7a010aec8d44ed44bc/e/db2ca978e704cf21d2fd5650 Does anyone have any advice on document structure, design or construction techniques that would be specific to these types of models?… -
Part Studio Methodology
I am working on building a deck addition on my house and have been using OnShape the last couple of days to come up with some designs. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c81a2bf27975d44e7c132e75/w/4f3056aaa0badaeaa582f09c/e/16b9e3b5c432f8ca521da0c6 I thought I was doing pretty good * Created "skeleton" to define some of the… -
Vertical Scrolling in Feature List
Onshape's Feature List has a re-invented scrollbar. I reckon it flat sucks. (OK, I'm too civilised to say what I REALLY think) The only rapid transit option is to click on the (rather small) scroll box and drag it. It's fussy: you have to watch like a hawk, and position (and reposition) the mouse with some care, to scoot… -
Re: Default value of a configurable variable from an imported part studio?
Last time I checked, there are no requirements anywhere in FeatureScript regarding the size of maps since maps are basically infinitely expandable. So long as required keys (and matching values) are present, additional key - value pairs are disregarded, even when doing things like type checking: var myPlane =… -
Re: Re-using parts vs creating new in multipart studios (concerning production and erp data)
@3dcad - What, specifically, makes using an existing part harder than making a new part? Is it hard to know if it exists? Is it hard to find the existing part when you know it exists? Is it too difficult or tedious to add the part when you know it exists? I agree that re-using parts is definitely better than re-creating… -
Re: To "Coincident Constrain", or "Concentric Constrain", that is the question. (Misquoting Shakespeare)
I was not aware the bounding edges of the face selected to create a sketch plane were that accessible for constraining. I have not had an issue using the coincident constraint to constrain to a circle/arc center to the center of a circular edge on the sketch plane because I always use "Use". It is my practice to "Use" the… -
Re: How to drive dimensions from other dimensions
I'm a long time Inventor user and am currently evaluating OnShape over Fusion 360 for a new company, and the inability to reference dimensions in sketches and other features is killing me. For example if you need to place an array of vent openings that get 10% closer together over a distance. You have to manually do that…
