Lofting: Problem with guide lines from a square base to an ellipsoidal shape
Here's the onshape document URL: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/9ff53daf0bb504ea1eb7fa44/w/00ca9d592e3ddaeb3ca01cc4/e/cc6f08cdd81203f8d71f968e The end result is supposed to look like a gravy boat with no handle, and be 3D printable. I have a much larger model that does print, but it gets messed up when I try and scale… -
Re: Filling functionality gaps with FeatureScript -- Rib Feature, 3D Spline, fasteners, and more
Spur gear generator - needs a sketch vertex to position the gear center. Position multiple meshing gears together by creating your gears first (using same module/diametral pitch/circular pitch), then modify your original positioning sketch and set the distance between the gears using half the sum of the reported pitch… -
Re: Name for this mechanism?
In general, that is a Ratchet mechanism. Though I'm not sure if there is a name for a ratchet built into a gear like that. -
Re: Export in free version?
I have a free version and can export a STL file but when I try to export a STEP file it fails. Is this a bug or is this a restriction. I was told early on that the free version would have no functional restrictions. Also copy and paste does no longer work and importing a picture to a sketch is now missing. Have I spent… -
Advanced Assembly Mate question
I had a general question with a couple (hopefully) minimal examples. Is there a way (or should there be, even) a way to have what I'm going to describe as "conditional mates"? For example, two gears apart from each other that have a linear relationship and turn ONLY when they physically meet? Two of my students are trying… -
Generating Random Imperfections
I am looking for ideas on how to model/generate imperfections on objects modeled in OnShape. I user onshape for modeling items for 3D printing. Right now I am revisiting a model of a padlock that I made for a Halloween prop This is a photo the original that I 3D printed and painted last year This year I want to make one… -
Loft did not generate properly: Current selections would create a self-intersecting body
Hello, Long time user, first time posting. First off thanks to this community, this forum has helped answer a lot of questions over the years! I'm trying to loft between two profiles. I have guide curves that (I believe) intersect the profiles and are not tangent to the profiles. I've also tried adding connection points… -
Re: Linear Sketch Pattern FeatureScript Example
Generated FeatureScript sketches are full of constraints, since sketch constraints are a great tool for interactive modeling. When you have code specifying where you want everything to be, it's generally easier to leave out constraints and just calculate where each point should be placed in the first place. Since there is… -
Re: opDeleteBodies doesn't remove outline
Thanks, that fixed it! If anyone needs a bearing (ball, roller, needle, conical), you can check out my "Bearing Generator" feature too. -
Re: Any potential for FS seeded sketches?
I'm just seeing this thread now, too. Its really interesting. It all sounds like a more general application of how sketch patterns and the sketch polygon tools work now. Maybe the key thing is allowing the 'seed' to be driven by some external feature. Although, the bearing example sounds like all you really need to do is…
