OK , got it figured , working along with gary's suggestion of offsetting I tried the perimeter , the boarder allowance , all to no avail , then I tried offsetting the outer rail for the 2 rail sweep , ended up offsetting that .008 and it worked just fine . Thank you for pointing me in the right dire...

Seems when I do the 2 rail sweep the areas that have the lip in the simulation show up with spikes or short black lines above the surface in the 3D preview screen when I apply the 2 rail sweep

Thanks gary , tried both boundary offset and vector offset , still end up with the exact same simulation results as in the picture , I had same issue trying to do a neck carve , I just gave up finally , I'll play around a bit more , maybe I can figure something out before I go bonkers . Thanks again...

Hi all , I am having a problem with the preview on a finish toolpath simulation , I am modeling a carve top guitar and I am getting a lip on the edges on the upper left bout , the right horn and down the right side , no matter what I try when I run the toolpath sim I get this lip , its most likely m...

Thanks Mike , was not aware of nodes causing the tool not to work , I'll keep that in mind

Thanks fellas , seems I was using to big of a radius on my fillets when I tried this , now that I have them properly sized it works just fine .

Is there a way to create fillets with Aspire on acute angles ? Or is it just a 90* angle option ?

Thanks Gene , yes , that's getting me on the right track , don't machine outside of selected vectors instead of model boundary or material boundary . I knew it would be something simple , just wasn't looking in the right place , now to get on with this model

Hi all , I am probably missing something here so figured I'd ask here , I have a guitar neck and want to use a 2 rail sweep on the back contour between the head stock and heel , see picture , between the 2 v-shaped vectors I have pointed out in picture http://i.imgur.com/3fSnS2g.jpg?2 I know how to ...

Found my answer , was going over tutorials and read through the one on putting a model in a dish , well started playing with ovals and shaping and ended up getting what I wanted . I think this will work just fine , just gotta play with the angle and depth to fine tune :D http://i.imgur.com/HwmS9SW.j...

I figured out how to do a forearm cut in Aspire using the fade function http://i.imgur.com/YSzxx9f.jpg?1 What I have not figured out is how to do a belly cut , like this. http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/zz246/adirondak50/strat%20build/imag35-1.jpg Is this possible to do with Aspire ? Anybody have...

Thanks COWBOY . Yes , the 3D stuff is addicting , you just want more

Thanks Phil . No , not in the Adirondacks , actually out on Long Island , but I do get up to the Adirondacks and the Catskills quite often.

Thanks Claude

Made this for a friend , sent out the other day , he should be getting it today , hopefully he will like it . It was my first real carve using Design & Carve with Aspire and following some of the tutorial tips . Its African mahogany @ .750" thick x 14" x 7.25" finished with 4 spray coats of clear sh...
