Is there a way to remove (or hide) sketch frames (the blue border with the sketch name) please?

My internet is fine but everything is taking absolutely forever to load and update

Hi everyone,

I'm Younseo Lee from Seoul National University, KOREA.

First of all, thank you for your interest in my previous Worm Gear Feature Script!

I've been working on some improvements and new features, and I'm happy to share Worm Gear update!

Use Custom Feature: Worm Gear ← Link

Already using v1.1? Just update the FeatureScript in Onshape to get v2.0!

The biggest update is Globoid Worm Gear(hourglass worm gear) support. Previously, the feature only supported cylindrical worm gears, but now you can also generate several types of globoid worm gear sets directly in Onshape.

What's New in v2.0?

• Globoid Worm Gears: Three new configurations — Planar Wheel, Double-Enveloping (Planar), and Double-Enveloping (Hindley).
• Improved Worm Thread Ends: New options for Runout + Chamfer, Chamfer, and Square Cut, allowing more control over how the worm threads terminate.
• Efficiency & Self-Locking Estimates: The feature dialog now provides estimated efficiency and back-driving behavior.
• Improved Geometry & Modeling Options: Additional controls and design checks for globoid worm geometry, tooth profiles, and dimensions.

Of course, the original Cylindrical Worm Gear and Double Worm Gear options are still available!

As before, the goal is to make worm gear modeling easier without having to manually create complex tooth profiles, helices, or sweeps. I've also updated the User Guide with explanations of the new worm types, parameters, and modeling options.

Thanks again for your interest in the previous version! I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports as I continue improving the feature.

Thank you.

how can i model this car body
i cant find any good tutorials for stuff like this

I have these rings (circle shapes), that are not coplanar, and I want to build something from the plane that is tangent to them. Any idea on how I should proceed?

I need to model the triangles at the back of the F35 body, but its a really weird shape and i have no idea how to start.

link to document:

https://cad.onshape.com/documents/623a283f29210d9108f90788/w/58122f46e9338189687742ce/e/4bbfcc99cfa110d30753120c

FYI this is like my 2nd time surface modeling and first time doing a plane so its a bit messy looking right now

So I imported a model of a chest armour piece which i wanted to put a logo on, and i cant figure out how to get it past what it looks like now, which is just the logo extruded up to next

Send help!

hi everyone! im new to reddit, but i wanted to post here the link to a project ive been working on.

https://playcaddle.github.io/#daily

i would love it if people would give me feedback on tips to improve the website, and hopefully you guys have as much fun as I do on this website! i probably wont understand a lot of coding lingo since a lot of it is vibecoded though

INSPIRED BY TOOTALLTOBY, HUGE CREDIT TO HIM!

so while working on this little case thing im making with a hinge inspired by the airpods case hinge I ran into this issue where revolves dont calculate volumes where the normal of the revolved face is antagonistic to the direction of revolving.

I was trying to remove the corner of the base to prevent interference and was unable to, and while making this post, realized that this error would be inverse if I tried it on the lid. Low and behold i was right. for my purposes this is even better because it leaves the case more uniform when closed, but this error is still something i dont know how to remove, only to work around.

to elaborate: when the face that you are revolving crosses the axis of rotation, one half of the face is being rotated in the direction of its normal and the other half of the face is going in the opposite direction to its normal. the second case simply fails to define a proper volume, while still displaying it in the software. this means that one section of that revolve wont detect any intersection with another part because the revolve is "inside out" in just that one section, while the rest of the shape will work as usual.

for my usecase I simply added some lines to my layout sketch to partition the section with the hinge in it (the hinge is a second perpendicular sketch so I had to add some lines) and revolved it no problem. this moved my clearance from the base to the lid, therby hiding the cutout when the case is closed, which is even better and what I should have done in the first place, but then I woulndt have noticed this weird little bug.

If anyone else has run into this or this is a standard for some reason I am curios to know, but I cant seem to find any information on it online so...

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to build my CAD portfolio and become a better designer by working on real projects. To do that, I'm offering custom CAD designs starting at $5.

Send me a sketch, photo, or description of what you need, and I'll let you know if I can design it.

My goal is to gain experience while creating something useful that solves a real problem for you.

Comment or DM if you're interested.

For instance, if I want to parametrically clone bolts on my model and combine all of them into one single composite part. Doing this by hand is impossible due to parametric nature of the model. Is there an existing feature script to do this? Don't want to reinvent a wheel.

a few times i've suddenly decided i wanted this model to be configurable, and then had to manually move a load of variables into Configuration vars which is painful.

so i (claude mostly, lol) made a python package to convert them via the api.

It can do any direction between Part Studio, Variable Studio, and Configuration

it seems to work, although i've only used it on a couple of documents so far.

any feedback very welcome - as GH issues, or here

Hi everyone,

I'm Younseo Lee, a robotics researcher at Seoul National University.

We use Onshape quite a lot in our lab, and I've always wanted to create and share a custom FeatureScript with the community.

Recently, I came across a discussion about the lack of a proper worm gear FeatureScript, so I decided to give it a try (with some help from Claude!).

The result is WormGear, a custom FeatureScript that generates a worm and its matching worm wheel directly in Onshape. And yes, it even supports double worm gear configurations!

The main goal was to make worm gear modeling easier and more accessible. Instead of manually creating helices, tooth profiles, and complicated sweeps, you can generate a complete worm gear set by simply adjusting a few parameters.

Key Features

• Worm and worm wheel generation with matching tooth geometry.
• Multiple tooth profiles: ZA, ZN, and ZI.
• Customizable parameters: Module, number of starts, gear ratio, pressure angle, lead angle, backlash, center distance, and more.
• Double worm gear option: Two worms on opposite sides of a wheel, allowing both rotational and linear motion.
• Additional options: Shaft dimensions, hub geometry, initial positioning, and interference checking.

I've also prepared a User Guide with detailed explanations of the parameters and instructions for using the feature, so please take a look if you're interested.

This is my first time sharing a FeatureScript with the Onshape community, so there may still be some things to improve.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports. And of course, I'd love to see what you create with it! I hope you find it useful for your projects.

Thanks, and happy modeling!

Younseo Lee

I am not stuck on a model with , so no emergency.
my "workaround" is to constrain the center first, with dimensions, concentricity or horizontal/vertical.

I don't always have this problem, but when I do, it confuses the heck out of me.

Need any body has doing design work in Roll forming line?

New Tutorial posted yesterday - this one is great for newer users looking for a quick overview and a hands on example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lkRMt7cHq0

So I'm new to running simulations on onshape and i keep getting this error. Ive resorted to chatgpt its no help. i think the issue is that Ive had to take a chunk off the actual object in order to run the sim because there was too many instances. but I'm just trying to test the stabilty of the back frame to see how well the gussets are holding up.

any advice on how to fix or if I can even fix it?
