    Default 4th axis shows up on my machine in 2 parts. One is out of bounds.

    Hello, I just started using a 4th axis. I use bobcad v31. When I post my gcode of my part in on my machine. It shows the top 50% of my part fine.The bottom 50%shows up above my part in the top of my parameters. I zero and touch off. Then the top of the part is miiled fine. Then my part rotates 180 and I get a z height error and machine shuts down. The bottom section is still above my top and high in z plane.
    What could it be, I have tried machine setup, new indexes etc. As always on this journey it will be something simple. Any help would be appreciated.

    Could be the "origin" setup.

    But you had errors in your zlevel rough in that other thread.

    May be best if you can attach the bbcd file here (zip it) so we can get a look at how you're setting it up...
