Thanks Beki,
A fun little project.

Here's why I needed more nodes.
The edges of the ice look much better jagged than smooth,, I think,
Thanks for all the comments.

Greeting All. I'm old enough to remember the phrase "Keep Cool / Keep Your Cool" as being the popular words to say. Originally started in the mid 1950's it was in the mid 60"s that it really took hold in the language of the young people. Given the current conditions, both figuratively and literally,...

Thanks Gents,
It's always good to see who's out there with their thinking cap on.

I'll update as the "project" moves forward......or not...

You mean something like this? With the nodes all nice and evenly spaced?

So do tell, why do you want to do this?

Yes, That's what I'm looking for...
The answer will appear in due time.

Thanks,

Thanks guys for playing along. The "Fit Vectors to Curves" will change the shape of the circle so that wouldn't work as expected. And the idea of a 1/400th segment of a circle is interesting, but what happens if it's not a circle ... Again, thanks for indulging me in some way off topic stuff.. Michael

So, the long days at home, as we may have been dealing with, have for me, set my mind to thinking.. I know the importance of nodes and how to reduce the number of node.... But my question is,,,, Is there a way to populate a circle, with only 4 nodes, and convert it to a circle with, let's say, 400 n...

George,
You could not have gotten a better person to help you with this issue.
Steve is a real asset to the group, along with many others.
I have learned much from his postings..

It appears that there is another bug,,this time with the Create Array Toolpath option.
In the latest version you can not double click on the Array toolpath and change any of the setting ( Number of X or Y settings , etc)
This was doable in V10..

Woody JR..
What's changed ??
Can you describe it or post the files , if possible with copyright infringement?
Thanks

Michael

Milo 30, You may want to look at this posting about the topic of pillowed textured https://forum.vectric.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=17274&p=121797&hilit=pillow#p121797 Also, here is a link to my STL file if your interested. https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/o9AtdeeYs1VTS42HBl3kkXWskgGscDnPtySlZJ...

For me, the projects I am most proud of are the one that I get to see the finished product. Showing my model, with the talents of people like Scott, has only kept me in awe of what others can do. The end results are awesome. Thanks Scott for pushing me to think in a different scale . Michael Dragons...

Peter,
Not sure, but from what I see, it appears that the left and bottom areas are the same in both the VCarve file and your screen shot.
Maybe your setting in the machine software needs to be looked at.

Michael

Peter,
What do you mean by align the toolpaths?
What you're seeing is that your machine x/y is at the bottom left and the vectors in the file are as positioned.
Is it that you want the vectors to align to the left and bottom sides ?
