Cut 3D

[sawguy]

I am working on a project (sign) and I am using a Vector art 3D art file (Hamburg and fries) I am stretching it to 47"x67"x2". I purchased Cut3D because I have to slice the image and put it on one or two 49"x97"x1" sheet of Extira (I think I can put the two slices on one sheet). Should there be two tool path files? One for each layer? Or is it all in one file?. When I run the tool path preview there seems to be only one layer. I have watched the help video on slicing several times and I can't even get the screens on my computer, to look like the ones in the video. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The button to slice the model is at the bottom of Step 2.

Once you click on that and set your slice thickness the program will create a separate .v3d files for each slice and ask you where to save them. These you will treat as individual projects and load one at a time to set your toolpaths up.

After all the toolpaths are set for each slice and the .v3d file saved you can import them into VCarve Pro to position on a larger piece of material.
