Great! Add in #2 and I’ll be your best friend!
With an offer like that, I guess we have to do it.

I tried 772 with no crashes or anything bad to report. I see your still tweaking things and that’s good.
So for the overall, I’m giving it

We just uploaded 773 with a few tweaks to Carbide Create Beta Downloads
Unless we find any new problems, this will probably be the last update for a while so we can get broader feedback on the robustness of the rendering sytem.

I found 773 does not run well and claimed all the machine memory.
The previous balance of CPU and GPU usage is totally gone and now CPU bound.

773 is very stable with me,running a many variable tool program without issue.

773 is stable on my MacBook Air 2020 (Intel), O/S 14.4.1
I like how you combined the “PLAY” and “PAUSE” buttons, and how the simulation automatically resets after playing, so with just one click of “PLAY” I can repeat the simulation.

Works well for me on Windows 10.

773 is working fine with no problems to report.
Therefore it’s still .

Working great for me on simple carves as well as advanced vcarves.

I noticed the nVidia card was not being used, so I reset the Graphics acceleration and the program is acting as expected.
All good. Not sure why I had to do that.

I wanted to say thanks. I had an unintended benefit from this update. Had a customer that I have had for a while with several projects done for him. I have always cut him a break. He gave me a project that is quite large and balked at the quote. I tried to explain design time, cutting time, and sanding, and finish time. This guy drives a pos truck and squeaks when he walks.
I loaded his last project and ran the simulation, telling him it was running about 100 percent of what the cutter normally would actually do. He was impressed. He agreed to the quote I gave him. Don’t expect to ever see him again after this job. But another tool in the box to use.
Thanks

I am running it on a 1 year old Lenovo convertible (Ideapad Flex, Win 11) and on an older acer tower (Win 10, upgraded from win 8. drives the CNC) and no problems on either so far.
Finely got a chance to try it, works great.

So this is looking great.
Now, from the “what have you done for me lately?” department: Do you have any idea when the modeling overhaul is going to take place? That’s something that would be a HUGE savings!

Very nice, no crashes: Mac M1 14.4.1 8GB
Love the current control options for viewing, step by step, 100% function.
I haven’t had the chance to update CC yet, but look forward to this now if run simulations are now available. I run a CNC Mill with Funic controls, and one of the nicest features with this machine is being able to simulate the program. The nicest part with these simulations is the machine can be put into single block mode. The machine will only simulate one line of code and then pause until the cycle start button is pressed again to read the next line of code.
The simulation shows the movement and then stops. I find it very useful when writing big programs, because it allows me to see each line of code and what I programmed the machine to do, and if there is a problem with that line of code, I can see it right away and then go back into the program and fix it.
If running at max speed and the machine completes the program, and it didn’t have this single block read available, I might see that there is a problem within the program, but now I wouldn’t know exactly where it would be. So, then I would have to go digging thru the program trying to fix the issue. I know this might not be an option for an update in the build, but it would be nice to have a little more control on programs.
Time is of the essence here when programming and running our machines. Every minute we can shave off our creating a finalized product helps in budgeting and bidding a job. I have designed something and then have to go over and see it run. Then I find that there is a problem with the design and adjustments need to be done. So, now I have to go back into the design and make adjustments. Then I have to load new material and start again.
You see, the problem is running the material, wasting, then running more material before finally coming to a finished product. This isn’t so bad with a project that is under an hour to run, but when we are talking 4 to 5 hour of runtime and after running this whole process I find that there is a problem in my program design, now I have wasted those hours and have to run another long cycle time to see if my changes were significant enough or not.
I know this was long winded, but you guys are on the right track with offering simulations that allow us to see the work and if things will be good. Keep up the good work with these programs. The only thing I have an issue with is that I didn’t even know there was a new build offered and that this build was having issues and these issues have been worked through as well.
I haven’t been keeping up with all of the reading in here because of the kitchenette build I am in the middle of right now and working on trying to figure out my 3D carving issues. Plus, boiling buck heads as well for mounts.
I’m a city slicker and can only imagine. You must have a BIG pot 
Has anyone mentioned an option to pause between toolpaths?
I find myself enabling & disabling paths and going back into simulate to see the IPW (In Process Workpiece) at each stage.
