24 Hours of Fusion later...
I've been a longtime (happy) user of Onshape. Recently I decided to give Fusion a serious try to see how much pain the integrated CAM, Eagle connector, and FEA could save me. I'm a semi-hobbyist one-man-band doing everything from PCB layout to machining parts so the idea of a set of tools that are tightly connected is… -
Bodies define geometry, entities are the instantiation of bodies !?!?
Over the past couple days of learning the basics of FS I kept writing queries that didn't work. They made sense to my mental model of the dataset I was querying on... but obviously I was wrong so I would scratch my head, form a new model that kind of incorporates the new info and continue. Fail & repeat this cycle a few… -
Re: New Feature: Freeform Spline
@Evan_Reese Very cool update. I think you've already won the Featurescript contest. I'm looking forward to the Control Point mode having G1/G2/G3 constraints. I haven't begun to look at your code yet, but as you probably know, you could copy/learn a lot from Bridging Curve to get G1/G2 constraints. One thing that has been… -
Improvements to OnShape for artists, natural forms, and more expressive design intent
I’m an educator who uses OnShape with students in the studio. I’m also a designer who wants to create objects that users’ can get emotional about. That ability to evoke is an important skill/awareness/talent I strive for in the minds of my students in their 3D design work and elsewhere in their lives. As such, I’m always… -
Brad's Tech Advice: Company Set Up Series - Part 1: Building a Foundation
Pre-amble: I am posting this in the forums first with the hopes of getting live feedback from existing customers and those that I am actively working with. The hopes are to turn this into a legitimate blog or entity within the learning center or our website. I also aspire to create accompanying videos that cover each part… -
Re: How to get a series data from measurement?
As mentioned above, a great approach will be to have a part studio where there are sketch(es) that create the layout that drives the motion. In fact I've been working on a methodology I'll share the bare bones of here for precisely the same use case... (This is a way, not the way to do it.) I have a sketch that is nicely… -
Re: Better way to make a whiffle ball?
@matthew_stacy I would imagine Josh is scratching his head right now Don’t blame Josh for this model. I was the one that did it — LOL I like the idea of using the construction line for the diameter, but I don’t always draw my construction lines with clean ends. Sometimes I run the construction lines long purposely. It’s… -
Re: Suzy
She's a 440cc after installing a bigbore cylinder and putting in a wiseco piston & rings. She's over square and matches the newer race engines on the market. Rev limit is 12k rpm due to the over square and lack of stroke. Her top end faded at about 40k miles when the valve seat wore past the valve hardness and stopped… -
Re: Tron Disc Difficulties
Creating the LED bosses. But first we need to establish a good foundation, a good project structure. To me project structure is everything especially when 2 people are collaborating. We are sharing this model and feel free to review my features. Tear the model up and change it. If something breaks, ctrl-z and return before… -
Re: A Discussion About OnShape As a Tool For Makers, Artists and Educators
One of the hats I wear is teaching kids 3D modeling. Who has kids who are learning 3D modeling using Tinkercad? A few have spoken up in other OnShape discussions. While Tinkercad is itself getting rather long in the tooth, it's popularity demonstrates that these young designers have very different perspectives on the…
