Need Help!- Generate Toolpath Over Solid

[mrsammy]

Hi all,

I need to know how to remove solid body from geometry given in the attachment. I want to remove it because I need to generate toolpath.

Please see attachment for further detail.

Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Thanks in advance.


Kindest regards

There is no solid.... It's a 3D surface file.....

cut away at it...

psychomill,

Thanks for your quick reply pal.

But I still cannot generate toolpath around it. Do you mean I need to delete the 3D surface?

Are there any tutorial video out there?

Btw..thanks once again.

Kindest regards,

Create/Curve/all edges.

If you start a new level and create the wireframe on the new level you can just blank the surface level once the wireframe has been created.

As a habit, I usually Edit/simplify and then delete all duplicates after creating surface curves.

What neurosis stated will give you a wireframe to program. If only have surfaces, you can only use surface toolpaths and have solids selection turned off....

Do as mentioned above and I would create on a different level. I don't like to delete geometry like that because I may need to go back to it later....

Psychomill,

Thank you guys, I think I got the idea already.

Is there any video tutorial about this out there?

Thanks once again.

Kindest regards.
