Double clicking on 3D pane does NOT remove waste material

[2C3D4U]

Hello,

Just for the sake of simplicity, I set up a piece of 1" material. Material Top is zero, Data point is the center. I cut out a circle in one pass (again, just to cut to the chase here) to 1.01 depth. Double clicking in 3D does nothing. Repeatedly. Why? I'm using 11.504.

When you say you are clicking in 3D do you mean you are double clicking on the waste material after previewing the toolpath and with the toolpath preview controls still active?

If yes then check your preview simulation quality on the toolpaths menu. Small tools with large material and low quality settings can lead to touching pixels in which case the software can't "see" where the waste is.

Yes, that's exactly right...as you describe.....clicking on waste material in 3D after previewing toolpath, and preview controls still active.
I never use low, standard quality. Oddly, I tried it again after shutting down the app and restarting the same file.....and now (fingers crossed) it is indeed working. Maybe the Win10 PC (about 8 years old) to blame? Plenty (32 Gb) of ram and good quality SSD. Go figure.
