I have just found a problem with running a 3D roughing toolpath - first time I have struck this and can't work out what has happened
It is a two sided 3D model and the first side machined perfectly
With the second side I chose the Selected Vector outlining the model and clearance required and when it runs it cuts out the model and not the outside clearance.
Have deleted the toolpath a number of times to no effect.
Have deleted and remade the vector around the model with same result -
Have stopped and restarted VCarve a number of times in between with no success.
Can anyone shed some light on what is happening and why I am getting the reverse of what should be happening?
thanks Kerry

Re: 3D roughing toolpath
Sorry blame it on a bad day -
Somehow when I imported the model I made it below the modelling plane so of course it wanted to machine in the reverse way.
thanks anyway for someone pointing out how stupid I was Kerry

Well, if that's stupid, I only hope my screw ups can rise to that level! Glad you got if figgered out.
