Now I see the problem.
My machine was defined as 4 axis (even though I was generating a 3 axis toolpath).
I guess that madCAM doesn't support 4 axis stock visualization yet.

Hi,
I can't get the stock to show up in the madCAM simulator.
I've looked around and can't find anyone else having the same problem.
Any ideas?

That is correct. madCAM doesn't support stock visualization and material removal in 4 or 5 axis at this time.

1- about stock in madcam simulator and see the result for carving as i cant do that so i am trying rhinocam it do it great but madcam is more comfartable , we need to see the result of the toolpath before we work it on the machine so Madcam should work on that .
2- i need to know ( machine head table 5 axis ) how to put the distence from the retation center of the spindle motor till the end of the chuck , and how to let the madcam add the spindle spindle high that i always change to the distence of the rotation center of the spindle motor that i put before .
thanks

Material removal in 4 and 5 axis is coming.

Hi Dan ,
With MadCam I try to do the attached Jesus Status , on my machine ( head table machine ) , the roughing with 14 mm from back and front was good ( txt file 1 and 2 ) , when i try to do the ( txt file no 3 ) ( in Rhino madcam is under the name " 6mmfinish " tool path ) , the machine should turn the rotation device to zero and start work but it do not do it so i rotate the wood manually through Mach3 then put the file no 3 to work , the machine just start working the file no 3 then the spindle go through the body as a hole ( shown in the JPG file ).
link to the rhino file and the g-code txt files is https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3...kY4VGl6VzE0QVE as file 1 is for top rouging 14mm , file 2 is roughing from bottom , file 3 is finish by 6mm spindle , file 4 and 5 are for 6mm working in a spicial aria . ( the problem till now is in file 3 ).
thanks

Hello.
Today I uses Madcam first time. I use a 4-Axis CNC (X,Y,Z,A) and I also cant see the stock in simation mode on Madcam. Because the last post is from feb/2017 I will ask you...
Is the stock also not simulated now?
sorry about my english ;o)
No, it's not ready yet.
