Adding a Tab Problem
I am able to add a tab to the right side of my object, but when I try to add it to the left side Cut3D does not add it. Am I overlooking a setting or asking it to do something it is not able to to?

Re: Adding a Tab Problem
You should be able to add tabs on all sides. You have to click the add tab button for each tab and then place it on your model. There is a Cut3d tutorial on double sided machining that explains the tab function and the help function in Cut3d has information also that might be useful.
I hope this helps

Re: Adding a Tab Problem
I have read through the help and watched the tutorial on 2 sided machining.
I can add tabs to all the sides EXCEPT the left side in the picture. Still unable to determine why this is. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Re: Adding a Tab Problem
Is there enough material on left side to add a tab? I f there isn't enough material it can't add a tab.

Re: Adding a Tab Problem
I have added a symmetrical boarder around the piece, like I say I am able to add tabs on all three other sides with no problem. See picture
Thanks
