Newbie question here...

I've been working on a project that I designed in Fusion360. I've exported the .stl and imported it into VcarvePro. For the most part this is working very well. A Profile cut runs around the perimeter of the object perfectly and then a Finish cut carves out the top and interior of the box I'm making.

But when I look closely in Vcarve I see that there are vertical remnants where the Finish cut didn't completely remove material just at the perimeter my Profile cut made. Is that normal? I found that if I set "Boundary Offset" to 1 mm, these remnants are removed. Is that the best solution?

The tool needs room to work and it's hitting the boundary.

You're doing the right thing, but then I'm a 3D newbie too:)
Welcome.
