Import 3d file

[RonP]

It's my understanding Vcarve pro can carve 3D with an existing 3d file, you just can't create a 3d, is that correct? If so, how hard is it to import a 3d file into Vcarve pro and what type of extension does it have to be to work?

Thanks Randall, this is a very helpful video, but I'm asking about importing a file from outside of Vcarve. Specifically, I'm talking about buying a file from an individual to carve the seat of a rocking chair.

VCarve will import many file types (see image below). Generally you're going to find STL or OBJ files for purchase.
