Trimming 3d model to vector

Post by urbansickness »

Im using a 3d model from the clipart section in vcarve and have made it into a repeating pattern and want to pattern to stop and go around a vector.
Ive tried using the vector around component in the modelling tab and trimming that vector , which works as in the vector gets trimmed but the component doesnt

Is this even achievable in vcarve

Cutting components to vectors is an Aspire only feature. You can limit the toolpaths in VCarve by using vectors but you can't modify the component itself that way.
