3d object on a swept profile

Post by Hooper »

Is there a way to lay a 3d object on a swept profile? https://www.dropbox.com/s/u84dey9bmlrhs12/Sconce.crv.zip?dl=0

I don't know of anyway to do it in VCP.
In Aspire you can create a component from the ToolPath Preview of the swept profile then the shell can be added to the new component.

that file was just a trial, but for the real one, would you be willing to provide me a file or g-code?
