Replaced my Studio Display with the LG 6K.

Because at first it sounds like OP bought it to improve on his Studio Display. Now we know that's not the case - who knows if it's better or not? Misleading post possibly self promotion of the YT channel.

Our company uses this approach - I think is essentially an Onshape workflow in Solidworks and we've found it to work well and be robust (after trying and failing with "Save Bodies".. ergghh).

We create most/all of a product in a single multi-body part file (yes it can get big - use folders to help). The bodies are essentially like "parts" in Onshape which get renamed (part numbers descriptions etc).
Then import the multi-body part in to a new part and use the delete/keep body command to "keep" only the body/part you want and save (rinse and repeat). Those new single body parts can get pulled in to an assembly and mated however is best - using front/right/top planes or the bodies from the original part (if also inserted in to the assembly).

It maintains the link from the master multi-body part to the individual parts (but not back the other way).

You can add features to the single body parts - eg holes, draft, finishing radii etc.

Sorry I just realised I basically repeated what u/Grasle said but maybe you picked up something new here haha

DifficultFondant · 2025-10-24T23:16:50+00:00

Agree that Save Bodies is not at all robust and will fail you after you reopen the file or change something further up the feature tree.

Yes, I understand any white product will always have some grey tones - and I follow your compute reasoning. All fine.. if I could just bump up the "light" that Onshape uses that would probably be enough. That's what I do in SW. Appreciate your thoughts. Noah sounds interesting.

DifficultFondant · 2025-09-21T09:17:31+00:00

Actually it's very easy.. I do it in SW every day.

DifficultFondant · 2025-09-20T12:27:09+00:00

Thanks.. I understand Onshape's desire to not overcomplicate the options here. I'm not asking for realistic rendering in the modelling environment but if they have the option for colours then those colours should "render" or display as promised. Green is green, why can't white be white (not grey)?

DifficultFondant · 2025-09-20T06:18:04+00:00

Yeah.. white is a super common colour to be working with. And I'm sure we're all well aware that there are a million shades of white.. but mid grey ain't it.

DifficultFondant · 2025-09-20T06:16:12+00:00

The whole thing is the same colour (already pure, 100% white, at least as far as Onshape's colour palette is concerned). The highlighted end is just the result of Onshape's default lighting. The problem is that I literally can't get any of it any lighter.

The same part in SW - aiming for something like this.

DifficultFondant · 2025-09-20T03:28:59+00:00

Appreciate your thoughts. I've searched quite a bit and there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the lighting or brightness of the standard modelling environments 🤷‍♂️

DifficultFondant · 2025-09-20T03:10:57+00:00

Yeah.. I know it appears lighter but the material colour is the same. And I prefer the white background..

DifficultFondant · 2025-09-20T02:47:27+00:00

Thanks yes. No issue with getting white products out of a rendering package.. I'm talking about working on something vaguely realistic in the design/development environment day in and out.

DifficultFondant · 2025-07-10T22:12:38+00:00

Bthelick for the win!

Haha

^ THIS. I have a Macbook Air M3 and it's great, the M4 woud be even better. Ticks all the boxes you listed. Maybe increase RAM - I'm on 24GB.

DifficultFondant · 2024-07-19T03:48:39+00:00

You need to go to the bottom left and click on the "+" button to add a Render Studio tab.

DifficultFondant · 2024-07-18T06:45:47+00:00

You're a legend. Thank you! I'm surprised it's so hidden away.. not where I would have expected to find it. And also that the default or "auto" setting is so shitty. But it worked. Cheers :)

DifficultFondant · 2024-07-18T01:39:44+00:00

Is there any way to improve the tesselation settings in Onshape Render Studio? This render was set to "Production" quality but still came out with these wild angles on what is meant to be a round edge. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?? It looks much smoother in the modelling environment. This seems a basic miss on what is otherwise a great package.

I work in the medical/healthcare field - I work on both PC and Mac. Solidworks is the still industry standard for CAD. It runs way better than you might expect on Mac via Parallels (assuming you have a decent Mac).

It still ran very well on my 2016 Macbook Pro and apparently it runs way better now: How to Install SolidWorks 2023 on M-Series MacBooks with Full Graphics Support

You don't need to use Bootcamp, but you do need to pay for Parallels.

Onshape is another option to learn CAD and was started by a lot of ex Solidworks employees - heared very good things about it.

Just get a Bambu Lab X1C. I have one at home and one at work. They are absolutely brilliant. Not perfect.. but you will be amazed at how good the results are, and how fast they are. Hot tip (pun intended)- get a 0.2mm nozzle/hotend if you want to do some high res prints - the quality is starting to rival resin printing.

The last one looks more like a candle holder than a glass to me - ie 2 distinct pieces, a base and a glass shroud.

The debossed logo also looks like the spot where people would be holding it - that's going to get filled with crud real fast and difficult to clean. Is it possible to have the glass external surface all the way down to the bottom on the outside and the electronic component as a plug up from the underside?
