    Cant profile solidworks guitar?

    HI
    I do most of my guitar modelling in soldworks but rhino is the only CAM that i have, When i open the solidworks part up it allows my to select the pockets but it wont let me select anything on the outside to profile? or anything else for that matter i will attach the solidworks file for you to have a look at and give me an idea, its just the front of the guitar nothing done on the back. your help is much appreciated
    Thanks

    Have you tried selecting the body and then doing : Curve->CurveFromObjects->MeshOutline?

    This will get you the outer perimeter of the guitar body and you can use that for profiling.
