My husband watches your videos. He's technical but not artistic so he asked me to learn OnShape for the things I wanted him to print. Your videos have been very helpful and I have designed my first two objects! Thanks very much for sharing your talents.

Designing in OnShape is NOT like "riding a bike". I've watched this AMAZING video many times over the years when I've had too much time between design sessions and need a refresher on the most often used tools & basics. Michael, you've done a GREAT job with this video! It quickly gets me back on-track to jump right into designing again! THANK YOU!!!

You are doing an amazing job with the series. You get right to the point, but take the time to show the details. The lack of chatter, and the lack of fumbling make for a great tutorials and references.

My daughter's Engineering teacher includes this video as part of the CAD lesson plan! Just tagged you on Twitter with a photo!

You are an excellent teacher. I'm coming to Onshape from FreeCAD. Your tutorials are helping. Though I've just begun the transition, it is my sense that Onshape will be more useful to me than FreeCAD. Thanks for these tutorials.

Pure gold for the beginners, Thank you!

Coming from Sketchup, this is Nirvana. Thanks for the tutorial!

Thank for such a clear, thorough yet to-the-point video.

The tool has changed a little since this video, but was close enough that I could follow it and learn to design my very first 3D model in OnShape. Thank you! If I had to say one thing, it would be slow down a touch more and detail/announce exactly what you are clicking (right or left, middle, or whatever). I had to rewind and slowly playback the Fillet sections like 30 times to see what exactly you were clicking and see what the tool looked like and what was highlighted, because you were right clicking or just clicking, but not being obvious which face or edge you were clicking. A LOT of times, you had a different cursor than me, and it was obvious you were hitting ESC or stopping the dimension tool or something between and maybe that is a new/different behavior, but it was quite easy to get lost and then I'm not in the same "context" to do what you were (or the wrong surface or edge was selected, which definitely has different effects on constraints or fillet). But, this was still fantastic to help me get started. Thank you!

sitting here reproducing this to the T to 3d print for a first from :scratch" print, you're the man, thanks for the quality content.
arnt those "fillets" on the circles "chamfers"? i mean obviously not i watched you make the domino lol, but yall know what i mean?

[slavik.nychkalo]

this is awesome! I’ve learned so much tools from this single video 👏 Thanks so much!

[elijahhines]

Oops! I totally found out what I was doing wrong. My circles were construction lines so they would not extrude correctly dude. Thanks so much for doing what you're doing!

Very helpful tutorial and excellent teacher . Thank you I (81) be fallowing you and learning.

[Kebekwoodcraft]

Well I have to start over I did something weird 😮😅. Thanks well done 👍

[Ella]

holy shit that was an easy tutorial but I learned a lot.

[craigspicer]

I found this too be more easier than fusion 360 but its been a few years. I just like it that i can do basic Cad commands and design something so i can make parts with the 3 D printer.

[archemity]

When I try to fillet the outside corners, it rounded the corners and all the top and bottom edges. What am I doing wrong here?

[Anonymous-vhkp]

How did you get the angled plane? I'm struggle to make a wedge shaped triangle where the slope goes from the hypotenuse to the right angled corner, where the slope is at it's highest point at the hypotenuse.

[CADfile-wwfg]

I cannot get the fillets for the holes to work the same as here. Does the fillet apply to both extrudes? EDIT: I had missed the 0.5mm was changed to 1mm, it works the same at 1mm.

[ludodg]

is there a way to specify the length of a line, retangle, circle... when, while drawing it, in stead of drawing the line and then using the dimention-tool?
