Love your teaching style! Have been watching lots of others over past 10 days.... you sir are my new favorite and have been followed... love your logic/approach/style.
Hiya Toby! Nobody explains CAD features as well as you. Sorry that I haven't donated Value for Value yet, but I will. Great tutorial, as usual! Gotta keep em coming!
i actually did donate - happily - right after I wrote the note. But I didn't receive confirmation, which I thought was weird, assuming it would be an automated system. On your site, I log in under a different name (last name Odom). I'll check to ensure the funds transferred. @TooTallToby
Just checked, and I did make payment via PayPal on Jan 24, but my bank records do not show those funds withdrawn from my banking account. Not sure what the process is for you to receive PayPal funds, but would assume it is an automatic deposit? PayPay definitely shows a payment was made to you; I want you to have the cash, bro!
lets delete these messages I'll message you directly @@PCRduino - we're probably getting a little too deep in the weeds here, considering this is the onshape channel 😀
@TooTallToby, nice overview of the rib tool! For the parallel to sketch part you could also have mentioned that it not only can be angled but also doesn't have to be a straight line (for that mater it can curved for the normal to sketch as well)! One thing I haven't seen you use yet is the "final" button (available in the sketch and most feature dialogues), you could have turned that on while editing the sketch for "angled rib" part of the video. What it does is that when enabled it rebuilds the whole feature tree (up to the rollback bar if applicable). Basically like the "rebuild" button on a dimension edit box in SW except it updates live as you drag, it's fun to play with (and can be very useful, for example when editing splines for a surface model so you can see the surface update live as you drag your construction curves)! Also when not enabled, the slider at the bottom of the dialogue changes the opacity of the preview so you can quickly see the "before and after" of your feature by dragging left or right (in case you wondered what that does!)
So.....with curved lines I was kinda getting "hit or miss" results. I think the Onshape team might still be refining this one - do you have any little tricks you use to help in those spots where the rib just kinda solves crazy (when extending) - or becomes unsolvable? I find that the best thing to do is to split the rib into 2 separate rib commands, and then I can get what I'm looking for.
Another great video. Your manner and explanations are excellent. I guess being relatively new to Onshape, you can better appreciate potential pitfalls for new users and teach accordingly.
Good teaching! But typically, at least for me, I get stuck sometimes on how to make what I want to make. I can see the finished part in my head, but then I get stuck on one thing or another and end up taking way too much time trying to figure out something that is easy peasy, like how you showed the rib command. Once I know how to do it, I could do it in a few minutes instead of hours. Maybe others have experienced this phenomenon. You know what you want, but you just can't figure it out. For example, I would have tried to use the extrude command to make ribs, if I didn't know there was a rib command. I suppose it's just going to take lots of time and effort to figure out Onshape. I learned using Sketchup, so my paradigm needs to shift. Sketchup was easy, but with ease comes loss of power and precision. Thank you
Gotcha Brad - I think I answered this in the other comments but just in case - I was using the S key menu - a truly POWERFUL tool! here's a video I made on the topic: ua-cam.com/video/qdRPOJ9U6KY/v-deo.html
I found a bug the other day with the Rib feature. If you create a jogged line (or multiple connected lines), it'll extend all of the lines instead of connecting them to make one rib.
This was good, but I can't follow you as fast as you click. I like to watch every movement to follow along. Still learning from you though, so thank you!
A much better explaination than the help video, thank you, I wish it was a simple as the champfer command, just pick a surface and a rib appears.
Thanks glad this helped!
Thanks before viewing your video I didn't know how useful the rib command is.
awesome Glad this was helpful!
Great video. You answered questions I hadn't even thought to ask yet. Thanks Toby!
lol - nice thanks Kevin!
Love your teaching style! Have been watching lots of others over past 10 days.... you sir are my new favorite and have been followed... love your logic/approach/style.
Awesome! Thanks Jonathan!
Thanks, very helpful. Great video
Nice! Glad this helps!
Thank you! Your explanation was much clearer to me than the video in the Onshape help center
Awesome so glad this was helpful!

Outstanding! I was so confused with this command.
Awesome! So glad this helped to clear things up!
Something I've never used but wow, so powerful. Like button x3
Awww yeah - thanks!
Great video! Thank you for your explanation!
Thanks!
dude, you are my hero.
Wow THANKS!

As always, great concise video. Simple and easy to understand. Thank you for imparting your knowledge base with us. 🤘
Awww yeah Thanks Ron!
Thanks, that just cleared up some questions I had.
Awesome thanks for the feedback Jamie and glad that helped! 😁
Grande Toby!!!!!!🤙
Awww yeah!
Thankyou sir
Thanks Rudy Glad this helped!

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying this style of videos!
how to get tolerance and grams using onshape pleasE?

Sorry for the noob question but still learning Onshape. At around :43 you click something to get a floating box with sketch items. How do you do that?

Toby is the modern day Lars Christensen!!! 😊❤❤❤
Lol - Lars is a LEGEND and I'm honored by this comment! Thanks! 😁😁😄😃
On ipad did not work this ribs command
This was good, but I can't follow you as fast as you click. I like to watch every movement to follow along. Still learning from you though, so thank you!
Thanks Glad this is helpful! I'll try to make some more "step by step" type videos!
@doug47
thanks for the share!
