Exploring CAD with Onshape

What is the purpose of the extrude tool in Onshape?

• To measure dimensions of 3D objects.

• To apply colors to 3D models.

• To create 3D shapes from 2D sketches by adding depth.

• To convert 3D shapes into 2D sketches.

How do you create a cup shape using the revolve feature?

• Use the revolve feature to rotate a 2D profile around an axis.

• Draw a cup shape in 3D space directly.

• Sketch a cup shape without any axis rotation.

• Use the extrude feature to create a cup shape.

What does the mirror tool do in CAD design?

• The mirror tool creates a symmetrical copy of objects across a specified axis.

• The mirror tool deletes selected objects from the design.

• The mirror tool changes the color of objects in the design.

• The mirror tool rotates objects around a central point.

Explain how to remove material from a solid in Onshape.

• Apply the 'Shell' feature to hollow out a solid.

• Use the 'Revolve' feature to add material to a solid.

• Select the 'Fillet' tool to smooth edges of a solid.

• Use the 'Extrude' feature with 'Remove' option to cut material from a solid.

What is the function of a sketch in the Onshape platform?

• A sketch is primarily for annotating existing 3D models.

• A sketch serves as a tool for rendering images in the Onshape platform.

• A sketch is used to create 3D models directly without any 2D definition.

• A sketch is used to create and define the geometry of parts in 2D, serving as the basis for 3D modeling.

How can you add text to your design in Onshape?

• Use the 'Shape' tool to create text in your design.

• Use the 'Text' tool in the 'Sketch' menu to add text to your design.

• Text can only be added in the 'Assembly' menu.

• Add text by importing a text file into Onshape.

Describe the process of making a saucer using the extrude tool.

• Create a 2D circle sketch, draw a smaller circle inside, and use the extrude tool to form the saucer.

• Use the revolve tool on a line sketch to make the saucer.

• Draw a rectangle and apply a fillet to create the saucer shape.

• Create a 3D cube sketch and use the extrude tool to form the saucer.

What is a plane, and why is it important in CAD modeling?

• A plane is a curved surface used in CAD modeling.

• A plane is an advanced tool for rendering textures in CAD.

• A plane is a flat surface used as a reference in CAD modeling, essential for creating and manipulating 3D objects.

• A plane is a type of 3D object that cannot be manipulated.

How would you create a die using the mirror feature?

• Replicate the die's shape without using the mirror feature.

• Create a die by using a single image for all sides.

• Use the mirror feature to create a cube without faces.

• Use the mirror feature to replicate one face of the die across all six sides.

What steps would you take to design a cup and saucer set in Onshape?

• Use a 3D printer to create the cup and saucer directly.

• Draw the cup and saucer by hand and scan them into Onshape.

• Only design the saucer and skip the cup entirely.

• Design a cup and saucer set in Onshape by creating sketches for both, using revolve for the cup, and extrude for the saucer.
