Winter Break Themed

Use onshape to generate a winter themed 3-d drawing. The more complex, the more points.

Ideas include : snowflake, snowman, Hanukkah candles, christmas tree with presents

Example of 5 out of 5 initial outline

Example of 3 out of 5

Some good actual examples of completed projects

Onshape- Import and Draw on Image

you are going to import the image of the turkey on this url : https://onelittleproject.com/turkey-template/ into onshape (see the powerpoint posted on google classroom)
use the tools to trace over that image

That’s it, no extrudes or anything, just practice importing an image to onshape and tracing it.

Fillet and Shell

Units : MM

Step 1) Inscribed Triangle . Dimensioned to 22. Centered at origin

Step 2) Make 1 vertex of triangle vertical with the origin. This will define the shape

Step 3) This is what your shape should now look like :

Step 4) Use the scissor tool to delete the top 3rd of the circle

Step 5) Connect the 2 points (make sure it’s defined)

Step 6) Perform 2 extrudes (25 and 35). :

Step 7) Fillet as shown:

Step 8) Add a shell:

Step 9) Final product:

Extrude Fillet Chamfer

Workspace Units: MM

Step 1) Create a new sketch on the front plan and create the following sketch. All share centered at the origin:

(Click image to enlarge)

Step 2) Extrude 1:

Step 3) If sketch 1 is hidden, make sure to show it

Step 4) Extrude 2:

Step 5)Fillet :

Step 6) Add a chamfer:

Result

Variable in onShape Do Now

Step 1) Create a 25, 30 , 40 and 42 MM circles all centered at the orig

Step 2) Add a single circle on the right that has a radius of 35.

Step 3) connect centers with construction line. Make sure that the blue lines are coincidental to the circles

tip: if you draw a line , you can use the ‘q’ button to change it to a construction line!

Step 4) Make the blue lines symmetric to the construction line and at a 9 degree angle

Step 5) The center of the circles should be dimensioned to 44:

Step 6) Each part of the circle on the left should be an extrude. The outermost starts at 10MM, then 15MM, 20, 25 MM:

Step 7) Connect the two end circles with a 2 MM extrude. The right side is 25 MM:

Step 8)create the variable as shown below:

Step 9) Add a fillet to all the circles edges. Set its amount to the variable len as shown. This video shows you how to use a variable and then change the variable:

Angle, Symmetric, FIllet practice

Set document to MM

Step 1) Make a circle, centered at origin with a diameter of 30. Then create a circle with a diameter of 20 to its right.

Step 2) Connect the 2 circles with 2 lines coincident on to both circles. You should see the highlighted constraints when you mouseover either of them:

Step 3) Dimention the angle between the 2 lines to be 12 degrees. Make sure it’s the ANGLE , not the distance. If you’re not sure how to do that, watch this short animation.

Step 4) Create a construction line connecting centers, then make the two lines symmetric to that line:

Step 5) Add the 2 dimensions shown . The shape should now be fully defined (all black)

Step 6) Extrude the middle part by 15 . Symmetric extrude and then add a 1 MM Fillet:

Step 7) Extrude th e2 circle by 30 MM (no pic. You should be able to do this on your own)

How to Dimension an angle

To dimension and angle in onShape, you click on each side after the dimension tool

Angles w Fillet

Workspace Units: MM, use the front plane

Step 1) Create 2 line segments, centered at the origin (as always) and dimension them to 10 MM each

step 2) These should be angled at 45 degrees

Step 3) Add a 12 and 9 MM segments :

Step 4) Dimension the 2 angles to 140:

step 5) Connect with a tangent arc

Step 6) Add a 5 MM symmetric extrude

Step 7) Fillet the Edge of Extrude 1 in these 3 places:

Step 8) Final Filletted version:

Lines and Angles and Symmetric Extrude

Step 1) Open up a new document.

Step 2) Create a line of length 2 from the origin and line of length 3 from the origin; something like . Their exact angle doesn’t matter, just something like :
