How do you guys add the square/diamond lightening pattern to your belly pan? Is there a featurescript or is it done by hand? Thanks!
https://youtu.be/PrnSp-5HLwA?si=vsT7MQr50DweVdS8 This video shows how they likely did it since I think they use Solidworks still. On Onshape though there is a feature script which can help.
Any chance you have a link to this script?
I think I do just give me a minute.

Here ya go. Also keep in mine you still have to manually put in some lines to divide the areas you want to pocket, but you only need the lines, it’ll do the fillets and create ribs based of the wall thickness for you. Like this

2471’s Part lighten featurescript does something similar but uses sketch lines instead of areas and tends to be a lot more reliable when things upstream change.
Either works fine enough but this is what we recommend on FRCDesign

I would also recommend CheeseIt! If you are extremely lazy this featurescript can create a simple lightening pattern without any extra sketches.
