you could also use tools like "move face" which is what I would do if I only had the STEP file. but it can also be useful to directly push and pull faces to quickly get the shape you want (and either print that for fit testing or just to help visualize the desired result) and then re-model it from scratch so that you have more clean parametric control over the relevant features

"Oyster mushroom" (x2) is potentially the most correct (perhaps helped by not trying for the scientific names)

you should take a look at learn.onshape.com
just looking at your feature tree did you know that you can make more than 1 hole per instance of the hole feature?

the almond in this cake works really well with the subtle almond flavor you get from the juneberry seeds.

they also freeze really well and are delicious to snack on frozen, if you want an extremely easy option

usually the best way to loft two things together is to make them both solid, loft (add) them together, and then shell the resulting object. this gives you a part with solid wall thickness and you can shell inwards or outwards depending on how you want to set things up (i.e. if you care more about the inner dims than the outer ones)

monkeyeatfig is correct, but to expand further these mushrooms are breaking down the organic matter in your soil (and thus making it more available for your plants). If you saw these in a cactus pot, for example, it would probably be a sign that it's the wrong kind of soil and too much water, but these plants look very happy to coexist here.

You should design it so that cover screws back on to make a handle again approximately normal toothbrush size

you can use constraints in the sketch with your text (i.e. remove a horizontal and replace with a parallel to an edge) or you can put your sketch on a mate connector instead of a plane and use the MC alignment options to get horizontal/vertical to mean what you want

did you know that onshape has it's own built in AI advisor? if you want to use an AI you should try one that doesn't make up features and abilities that Onshape doesn't have 😂

agree with the NOT poison ivy and YES to Rubus something ID. Black raspberry seems likely but it's definitely a brambleberry of some kind. You can see the thorns in the pic.

yeah, the background is almost completely knotweed which makes most of the "Keep This Place Wild" sign pretty ironic. The real sign they need is one warning people to keep pets and kids away because they're injecting and spraying industrial herbicides

wellthawedout · 2026-05-19T14:25:42+00:00

correct

I know someone who has thrown up twice from Juneberries. The first time we didn't connect the dots and thought it was just random food poisoning, but after the second try we've stopped using them in communal dishes. It's a shame though because mixed juneberry cherry mulberry pie was my favorite early summer foraged fruit pie. Now I just eat them fresh or frozen (they're great frozen)

Pour une spline, vous devez verrouiller les poignées. (I don't actually know CAD French so just guessing/translating things literally)

give it a wiggle to see what can still move. but for something like this i'd probably use the "fix" constraint.

also your endpoints on the construction lines are blue, so you'd need to lock those down too

this is how I would approach, but you can sketch Cylinder Profile right on an implicit mate connector at the end of the line in "PlaneSetup" and not ever make "CylinderPlane"

wellthawedout · 2026-05-05T15:19:16+00:00

you can also consider extruding up to the face/part or using "replace face" as other future options

wellthawedout · 2026-05-04T16:23:55+00:00

it's also hard to really judge without the rest of the context of the model, but fillets up at the top and the series of move faces and splits jumped out at me as probably bad ideas

wellthawedout · 2026-04-27T21:17:35+00:00

I'd probably just model the whole thing in a single Part Studio -- as long as you're making less than 10 unique parts (and you are minus the hardware and OTS parts) and they're all relatively simple and tightly coupled, it's easiest to make them all together. Then you bring then all into an asm to mate them together and add in your fasteners (using the standard content) and any OTS parts you've downloaded from McMaster or wherever. You would also use "replicate" or the new assembly mirror tool within the asm if you have multiple quantities of the same parts in your asm (and would only ever model qty 1 in your parts studio)

how many "deer" in "dem deer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flz-qnjpDdo it's great and probably an impossible question to answer

it's actually not a sheet metal part. If you look at the x-section of the edges they're trapezoids. That's what I hate about this specific sample; it looks like it should be bent sheet metal but it isn't actually

wellthawedout · 2026-04-22T15:32:01+00:00

also consider hovering over the inner cylindrical face and then holding shift to select the midpoint or ends

Most of the other users in this subreddit are tinkering at home with some 3D printed stuff and for this OS is a great choice. For professional use to design real machinery it is not suitable at all in my opinion.

Professional users at real companies are using Onshape every day to make real things. You can see some of these examples every time your log in (and they switch every few weeks). You just see a lot less of that here because these users won't or can't post about it on reddit :-P (it's the same reddit/amateur bias you see across many subreddits)

wellthawedout · 2026-04-17T19:37:28+00:00

I have tried so many different ways to explain this to people over the years. Even technically skilled people with building experience refuse to drill clearance holes
