Hello All,
I'm struggling with a problem and not sure where I'm going wrong. I want to import a 3D file from sketchup. I can import the file just fine, but when I try to create the 3d toolpath that's where things seem to go wrong.
When I create the toolpath, I get a result the is the opposite of what I want. The finished part should be a square with a shape cut all the way through the material. What I get is a toolpath that stays above the material and never cuts anything. edit:(Or I get the opposite, see the bmp file)
I've attached a pdf of what the item should look like as well as the v-carve file. Any ideas?
(Couldn't get the files to attach, use the links below)
