tabs in preview
I am not sure if this is a bug or just me missing something. I have created a 3 D component of a veterinary symbol and when I set up the preview toolpaths and run them, some of my tabs don't show on the preview. I have two internal tabs that do show but the ones I placed around the outside of the component do not show in the preview. I am using the latest version of Aspire 9 on windows 10 system.

Re: tabs in preview
Are the tabs showing if you run just the profile toolpath on it's own?

Re: tabs in preview
I experience the same issue with a two sided project, try increasing the thickness of your tabs.

Re: tabs in preview
Have you tried increasing the toolpath preview resolution to see if they show? On the toolpath tab look for toolpath preview resolution
I have had tabs not showing when using the standard setting.
Are these 3d tabs added to the model or tabs added with a profile cut out ?

Re: tabs in preview
I tried several thicknesses and widths of tabs with the same result. I don't see where to change the resolution on the preview. Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

Re: tabs in preview
The tabs are added in the profile cutout page.

Re: tabs in preview
The tabs do not show with only the profile cutout being run.

Re: tabs in preview
I have my tabs on a separate screen from the main page. I don't see anywhere on the toolpaths tab where I can select preview quality.

Re: tabs in preview
Thanks, Martin. I kept looking on the toolpaths pull down and not on the header. Now that I found it, I will try that and see if my tabs appear. Thanks also for the other suggestions. You guys are great.

Re: tabs in preview
Even with the simulation quality set a maximum, I still don't see the outside tabs. I have included a screen shot of the 2D page with the tabs.

Re: tabs in preview
Ok don't do much 3d work so not sure if it is an issue with the tabs & the 3d model, does the model cut all the way to the spoilboard or have you got material under the model ? Hard to see but it looks like that model is almost full material thickness, wondering if there is anything for the tabs to attach to

Re: tabs in preview
I have a bit of room on top of the material that isn't cut and the interior tabs do show. The model shouldn't cut to the spoil board, but I will double check that. Thanks, Martin.
