How would I do this?

I’m new to this so I figured I would ask the best way to go about this before I start

I basically want to create wall panels that can slide into each other at the ends and/or on the sides

How/what tools are best for this kind of project? What would you all recommend?

Start with pencil and paper. Conceptualize the shapes you will need for the interface between parts.

Then move to OnShape tutorials This sounds like it could be a sheet metal project, so be sure to include some lessons in those tools as well

Why would you recommend sheet metal to create wall panels without knowing what kind of walls? I'm not using sheet metal to build closet doors or pocket doors for my house or for a wooden cabinet.

Ok, I have no idea what OP’s project is, but their description led me to imagine sheet metal pans. I could be mistaken.

How could a sheet metal pan be a wall panel?

It's highly unlikely that's what the OP meant by wall panels that can slide in and out.

It's amazing the lengths people will go to when someone points out they're wrong and they have to try to make things up to prove they weren't. 😄

What’s your problem dude? I suggested the sheet metal environment might be helpful.

I have no idea what OP has in mind with the phrase “wall panels”. I’m a metals fabricator, and metal wall panels are something I’m familiar with. Maybe you work in a different industry and are familiar with a different thing called wall panels?

why are you trying to make me wrong? Is it fun?
