After you created initial sheet metal body - you have sheet metal basic feature above which has thickness parameter. So you can go back to sketch and use thickness in equation 60-"3" to make it dependent and will have easier way to edit the model later. Not to have number in equation and be able to edit height of the model seperately - can create "Height" global variable and use it in equation instead. Nice vid btw, used the same technique 6months ago creating the same part :D
I was thinking to myself at the start of the video "hmm, I wonder if the jog feature has functionality to work in reverse? (so to speak)". Great video to show how to think differently.
I have tried lot of thing and then end up using jog and got result, btw i first time used jog for this took time because i didn't want to see this video before i have solved the thing and i did, man now im seeing there was a way to make this without jog lol you are wonderful at your job bro
sometimes I offset a construction line the material thickness and then dimension the height. that way my sketch looks like the print and you do not have to use math and run a chance of a mistake.
Hi Toby, nice model as usual. I solve this one using sheet metal jog, and I got 807.73g for mass. The only problem I faced that I couldn't make a circular pattern with jog 😅
Thank you Toby, This is certainly a challenging part and It took me hours to figure it out, the first time I used the same method as here but I figured by using Jog Feature there is less need for extra calculations, I post it here , also congrats on 6k 🙂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f9qzaz4Np8E.html
Speed, Stability, Snippiness. (I know 2 of those are basically the same thing) I've used the different builds of SW in side by side applications (on the same computer) and 2015 just feels more like a snappy video game, where the later builds I feel like I'm always waiting for the program to catch up. Waiting when I launch, Waiting when I double click a template, Waiting when I create a new feature, Waiting when I add a dimension to a drawing. I bought a professional seat of the 2022 software, and when I run the newer builds it feels like I playing an early access version of an underdeveloped game on steam. Slow and laggy.

@Too Tall Toby that makes a lot of sense. I never considered the possibility that different releases would be anything other than new skins and a new tool or two. Is there any functionality that isn't present in 2015 that you wish was there.
Nice step by step instructions! I did it once reasonably quickly (see my post in the original video challenge), my first thought would have been to use a jog in SW (as @franklaurent80 did) but Onshape doesn't actually have that option (yet...). However I thought about a really quick and easy way to do it after so I had to do it again (and record it this time)! Just over 1:20 to get the answer: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w3C_G6SsynA.html
