Do not chose auto complete. (If the lip had it's own layer, you could use auto complete but not with the lip and housing combined.)
You will need ro make two contours.
One of the rocker housing including the lip, and one of just the housing above the lip.
When you go to Machining, you can chose the contour you wish to machine and the depth of cut leaving materialfor your lip.
It's late tonight, but if you don't get it I'll walk you through like I did Speedy. |
Interesting. This is where I started to go last night while messing around with it. I got the contour for the housing itself done up last night, but I did not go any further with it.
When I do the contour with the lip part, am I doing a contour of the rocker housing too or just the lip part? I suspect I am going around the whole outside perimeter with the contour (following the lip instead of the rocker). That seems to make sense...
I'll play around with it some more today and see what happens.
Thanks
