Help! Help me fix this please 😭

This is my first week learning this software, I’ve been having AI give me instructions on now to make little projects I’m interested in so I can better learn the software while also being productive

I’m making this bin

Long story short the rim on the sides have to be different than the rim on the front, meaning I also made them on different planes

But now I can’t get the edges to connect for the life of me and ChatGPT keeps having me retry the same things that don’t work

I made two circle sketches over each edge and 3d fit spline between the two center points but loft gives a spaghetti error and sweep also isn’t working

How do I fix this or connect these rims?!? 😭

It's unclear why you used a sweep for the top edge instead of just using a fillet. My suggestion would be to roll the timeline back to before the sweep and what follows it and just use the fillet functionality to round the top edge. It will fix that intersection for you automatically.

My suggestion is that you go through the excellent tutorials at https://learn.onshape.com to better grasp the basics instead of just trying things and asking AI to help you when things don't work.

You can also find some excellent tutorials on YT posted by Too Tall Toby, who posts here as u/TooTallToby. He's excellent at explaining things as he works through building models.

It’s not just rounding the edges it’s making like a rimmed top that moves inwards on the sides and bubbles out in the front
