Want to design complex curved surfaces in Onshape? Look no further!

Thanks for adding keypresses overlay! It''s just as awesome and useful as i expected it to be.

[@cademist]

I'm glad that helps, and thank you for the suggestion.

Finally a CAD channel that uses a keyboard overlay 🤌

[@cademist]

one subscriber suggested that!

[@professorsanjivkumargupta5595]

Wonderful demonstration and I can appreciate your understanding of the 3 dimensional space and the construction geometry. Great going and thanks.

[@cademist]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Other than trying a simple loft , I have never looked at the surfacing tools. Thanks for the brief lesson in surfacing. Now I have a new project for the wet and cold weekend !!

[@cademist]

Well, let's loft much more to heat things up!

Recommend watching this in 1.5x. Still Learned a lot tho! Great job

[@cademist]

Good to hear!

[@garya418]

Thanks for another awesome model. It will be fun to try this in Fusion 360. You have given enough clues.

[@cademist]

You are giving me the idea to publish this on that side as well!

[@JorgeVismara]

thinking to 3D print this piece, I see you have not defined the thickness of the walls... where/when is that defined? thanks

[@cademist]

That's the transition from surface to solid by "thicken" , which is the fifth command from the left on top.

Good Job

[@cademist]

thx

[@alistairdrozario3590]

Amazing thank you sooo much

[@cademist]

You're welcome 😊

[@StephenEtherington]

Fantastic

[@cademist]

Thank you so much 😀

[@foshyurgason]

Very helpful. Cheers

[@cademist]

Glad to hear it!

[@config2000]

I would like to know a bit more about the purpose of surfaces. In terms of 3D printing do they have any practical reason to use them? I am stuck thinking that surfaces have no actual thickness.

[@cademist]

They are more flexible for modeling-how could one have designed that fill surface otherwise? If you want to 3D-print that type of object you just apply a thickness (thicken is the command) and you are ready

[@config2000]

@@cademistAh, thicken is what I needed. I was trying the extrude option again after creating a surface from a sketch. That would only pick one part of the sketch pattern though. Thanks

[@cademist]

I'm glad I could help you out@@config2000

[@professorsanjivkumargupta5595]

Cannot use the fill tool. it says the requirements may be too high.

[@cademist]

First try "position". control your lines, especially the two arcs: there can't be any overlap!

[@pusnirizda5481]

Thanks for the video! By the way, do you have any experience with a freecad? As a CAD newcomer i found it totally counterintuitive compared to onshape or fusion or even autocad. Any chance you can make a video making any model you like in freecad just for example?

[@cademist]

I had a look at it so far, but have not really worked with it, although I share your interest.
