    Default Machining surface in V25

    Im running Mill Standard and need to machine a surface,( atttached ) I tried Z rough in 2D and 3D. Cant get either to pick the surface. It originally was a txt file from Mach 3 digitizer wizard. Ran in MachCloud to convert to STL. Then opened in MashLab to convert to a STL bobcad can open. Saved as bccd. and tried to do tool path, but cant get past select geometry. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    When selecting STL files for machining I found it best to use select all. For some reason when you try to just click on the STL it doesn't want to select.

    So when in the machining wizard after you click geometry you will be in a selection mode. At this point click on the ALL button.
