Hi there!!! There is a much easier way to make a pyramid in onshape Here is what i learned. first make a square on your top plain, then extrude the square, but before you do make sure you have the "Draft" box in extrude checked, then click on the green check mark and Voloa..there is your pyramid...you have to set your degrees. Have a good day!
LOL that is not an easier way - sorry it is just wrong. A squarebased "pyramid" is not a tetraeder. Your "pyramid" has 5 corners and 5 faces with different sizes. A tetraeder has 4 corners and 4 equally sized faces.
It's too complicated. I done it in 3 steps - 2 sketches and one loft. 1) Top Plane: A triangle in a circle, let one of its corners also lie on the right plane (point 1) 2) Right Plane: first line from the center point of the triangle (the height of the tetrahedron) to the sky:), and another line of length equal to the side of the triangle from point 1 to the first line. Now we have the vertex of the figure. 3) Loft with the triangle from step 1 and the vertex from step 2.
😂 it is an exercise and I usually try to do it in all programs in a similar way. To use a point as a profile for a loft is at the moment only possible in inventor and onshape. I don´t recall if it was possible 6 years ago in onshape. Merry Xmas!
You can join them with the circular pattern option merge with all.
Nice videos, by the way!
:)
use fill insted of Offset Surface. Nice video

Thanks for the reply, I didn't expect to get it under a 6 years old video) Merry Christmas @@wolfgang.walden.cad.training !
