Re: vcarve on non-flat surface
Its a few years since I worked with Rhinocam and I rate even the most basic package highly.Are you able to run a simulation in 3D and take a screenshot of the finished piece?I can't tell very much from the screenshot provided and having the item included would be very helpful.There is a risk that the calculation of a Vcarve toolpath on a curved surface might not be totally correct as the geometry of the surface is automatically more complex than a flat,horizontal surface.I would hope this would have been factored in if you have projected the outline of the cut down onto the surface.

Re: vcarve on non-flat surface
new screenshots added. 1st one is what i am talking about.
2nd one is to show that non-planar curves give right result for planar surfaces, or in other words, it gives same result with planar curves.

Re: vcarve on non-flat surface
It appears that the outline had been projected down onto the curved surface correctly.Had you deleted or hidden the outline at the top level?
