This is such a good tutorial, i was actually doing the exact same model a week ago and faced the rib problem, i searched everywhere and couldn't find a solution, so i just did the extrude line method to solve it. But this is fantastic and thank you Toby as always for the awesome explanation and tips.
Superstar - thanks so much Toby. That has cleared up so much of my frustration - I had no idea about the 3 x "up to next" and that explained it perfectly. Always grateful for your time and effort :)
Toby just did it today in Onshape on his Model Monday live solve. The rib feature doesn't work in OS like it did in SW with the angled line and the nub on the top face of the cylinder, but if you do a simple extrude of both of those geometries, you'll get the same result. You can see that here: th-cam.com/users/liveIy6BeZBLAtE?si=tvSKmMTY05CSyCHa&t=2995
So long as the software behaves predictably I'm ok with it - because I can learn how to leverage the benefits of the feature - and the RIB command has a bunch of time saving benefits. That's really the point of this video - to show people that the RIB failing isn't a "bug" but expected behavior - so long as you understand how the rib is intended to solve. Hopefully this video helps to provide clarity on that point :-)

Awwww yeah THANKS JJ - So glad to hear this helped!
I didn't exactly know the underlying working principle of the rib feature. Up to next in 3 directions! Brilliant way to describe it.
Awesome QwertyCA - glad this helped!

can we get the Onshape version of this tutorial? i can't get the ribs to work in the same way.
yes, I just ran into a similar problem today in OnShape. I would love to see an example.

For this exact reason a lot of companies have disabled rib, it is inheritantly unstable if it isnt done perfectly 😅
