Re: Autodesk Inventor Design possible in OnShape?
@haresh_moradia Hi Haresh, yes, my design explores different ways to deal with the angles of the entrance and exit 'ramp' or whatever we may call them. The older one (The left one, when in RIGHT view) approaches that by conically reducing the helical pitch of the rail to zero in the first and final 90°. That makes the… -
Re: Is it possible to create a multi body part using mirror? (Does Onshape support multi body parts?)
I have found a work around... use the proper modeling technique in the first place. I have never been a fan of CAD products that support multi-body parts, but Onshape with its flexibility to model parts in a "grouping" (a.k.a Part-Studio) seemed like it would support it. The way some 3D operation menu's are written implies… -
Re: Engraving a pattern on a flat surface
@timrice Yup, I took a look at what you did with the sweep - thanks! Unfortunately, that doesn't work for three reasons: 1. It leaves abrupt / angled corners instead of a rounded corner that would result from an engraving endmill taking the corner. 2. If the profile that you sweep is not perpendicular to the sweep path,… -
Splitting face with surface entity - need to project splitting tool to sketch to split.
I'm working on some emboss/deboss features using the split surface + thicken method. I have no problems splitting the surface with a profile edge from a sketch. The problem I'm having is if I try and split with edge of a closed surface (extruded circle). What I've tried. 1) Split the face with the cylindrical surface. Here… -
How to split a circular part - my journey so far.
Hi, https://cad.onshape.com/documents/30aa714d9ba1405b6c4962b3/w/abd3881b0b7f5b4bdc438106/e/18fb9a71d18dafd488332af0 I want to split a circular part into 3 pieces. I realised that using only one surface results in you splitting the part but still ending up with only 1 part. Onshape error message at this point is unhelpful… -
Split Question
Hello, I'm rather new to this world. I became interested in learning how to use something like OnShape because of an interest in 3D printing and making printed "props" for Christmas lights. These props can be quite large and need to be printed in "pieces" to fit on a printer bed. The idea is to creat a basic shape ("star",… -
Re: Make a plane by another plane and a line?
Curve point is a crucial one, because it gives you a plane which is normal (perpendicular) to a selected point (often an endpoint) on any 3D curve, such as the edge between two curvy faces. Such a plane is essential for the profile sketch needed to use the edge as the path for a sweep, among other things. When we get 3D… -
How do I extrude with a 30 degree angle, please?
I'm new to onshape and finding it a tough learning curve. I have been driving myself mad trying to add a 30 degree angle to these pegs, i.e. to stop things falling off. I have tried sweep, loft, transform and others. If you could give me a clue or two I'd really appreciate it. Thank you. -
Large tile layout challenge
I've asked a couple questions related to this larger problem and while those had great answers (thanks!) I keep hitting subsequent roadblocks. I'm wondering if there's a completely different way to do what I'm trying to do or a small tweak that will get me there. Scenario: I want to trial layout a tile pattern over about… -
How to add revolves into an extruded cylinder
So I have this cylinder (just a simple extrude with a chamfer on each end. This is a pin going onto a handle, and I want small bulges to keep the pin from falling out of the handle. I cannot figure out how to add a revolved shape (yes I realize I could recreate the entire shape as a revolve, and if that's the only way,…
