Hi all
I have imported a model and need to create toolpaths ,my question is can the model be broken down to say just do the pickup pocket
There are no vectors to work with , is there a tutorial that can help.
Thanks John

Re: model toolpaths
Do you have access to the program that was used to create the model? If so, you could extract the "2D geometry" for the neck pocket, pick-ups, bridge pin holes, etc. Then you could use those 2D vectors to define the areas to pocket, the areas to exclude from any 3D toolpaths, etc.

No I guess I'll have to go ahead and draw it out but thank you
