Sweep Feature - Basics - Onshape 3D CAD

Learn how to use Onshape's Sweep command to create pipe-like objects and features. Sweep can also be used for helical features such as threads or springs. See examples of objects created with the Sweep command. We walk through the process of modeling a swimming pool hand railing. We also learn about importing images into your sketches.

I started onshape 2 years ago and lost hope. Thank you for these tutorials, I'm learning a lot!

[@phoenixfridge1495]

Thank you so much for these Clear and concise Was losing hope on learning in retirement Learned to draw in 1970s by hand but was never an office worker This is inspiring me

[@JustinLCooper]

I appreciate how helpful and unambiguous these sessions are! I have made a collection of handy items in Onshape as a result and the resulting 3D prints are so pro-looking!

[@basscrimsonstone4139]

It's more detailed than the tutorial on their official website. I like it very much. Thank you.

[@gruvypanda3082]

Love your videos! Thanks for taking your time to bring us videos that are so easy to learn.

[@CADSessions]

Good to hear they're helpful, thanks for watching!

[@lucasthegreat1667]

Thank you for this video it is really helpful during this pandemic where everything is online

[@WiseFoolTrading]

Fantastic tutorial! I love how you go out of your way to teach us helpful commands!

[@moodberry]

I am always impressed by your teaching style. You have a true gift for teaching. One question though. The construction line you placed at 48" is in the CENTER of the extruded circle. But if I wanted the top of the drawing to equal 48" instead of the center of the swept circle, and because you chose 3: as the diameter of the circle, should I lower the top by the radius (1.5") or is there a better way of ensuring the total height is exactly 48"

[@fuzzysphere]

This is so clear. Thank you!

[@krakatoa1987]

This is amazing, so well explained, thanks

[@cziasai]

Another video that is spot-on for what I was looking for. Thanks

[@madkvideo]

Great tutorial man!

[@Nearesttowtruckcom]

Great job. Thank you

[@troyhenrygent]

awesome video

[@agungmahendra7074]

thanks you are a great teacher

[@CADSessions]

You are welcome!

[@kozhinpeshraw7351]

thank u so much

[@karakairasa2161]

Thank you.

[@abasjabr7573]

Can we apply photo match feature like in sketchup.

[@kb9zzo]

So I noticed that the construction line is still tied to the center line of the pipe. Is there a way to make the overall height to be 48” or would I just have to make the dimension 46.5” to the construction line knowing that the radius of the pipe would be going above that construction line?

[@CADSessions]

Good observation! One way to do it would be to use Offset to create an offset construction curve at the top there, with the radius of the pipe, then make the horizontal construction line tangent to that instead.

[@ivandzeletovic6485]

Usually these tubes are hollow. How to make them hollow, with a wall thickness of 0.5in? Your tutorials are excellent.

[@CADSessions]

Thank you! Instead of a single circle for the profile, you can sketch 2 circles, and select the area between the circles for the profile in the Sweep window.

[@jolonandrade2793]

I can’t drag segments

[@250smacks]

How do you trace a picture and then extrude it? I haven’t figured it out. The picture has to be precise to do this. I’m trying to reverse engineer a missing part from a machine

[@BernardoBerndsen]

check teching tech is has a pretty good video for that.

[@J53113]

every time i insert an image its sideways. then i edited the image sideways to correct it and its still sideways.... help?

[@CADSessions]

What kind of image file are you using? By sideways, do you mean rotated 90 degrees? If you use the Transform button, you should be able to rotate the image inside the sketch permanently. The Transform button is sometimes hidden in a drop down list under the Linear Pattern button. Once you click Transform, select a border line or point of the image, and an image manipulator will appear. at the corner. Rotate the image by click-and-dragging the circle with the line through it. Left-click to accept. Hope this helps.
