Could anyone help with this 3D Carve?

There are a couple of instances of similar things in the Tutorials area:

Import STL into v8

as requested on support… Given a file: [image] which has dimensions: [image] (note that the file was damaged and had to be repaired) We launch Carbide Create v8: [image] go into Job Setup: [image] and set things to match, then draw geometry to match the Stock size: [image] Then switch to the 3D Model tab: [image] Import STL File: [image] and set the dimensions as desired: [image] Apply [image] Show 3D [image] Done [image] If desired, trace the 3D model: [imag…

Making a plaque using an STL

as requested on support… Given the request: trying to get the eagle to be carved and to end up looking like a plaque and the STL file: [image] and the job setup: [image] We start by drawing a rectangle the size of the stock: [image] and modeling it to a reasonable thickness: [image] [image] Then we import the STL: [image] which imports at much too great a thickness: [image] (red indicates that the model exceeds the height of the stock) If we use the “Scale to Height” bu…

Making 3D toolpaths in Carbide Create Pro from an STL from Etsy

As requested on support… Downloaded newest software, but now it will not allow me to create tool paths for stl files. Always says empty path, no matter what i change in settings Given the STL file… [image]

Importing Crocodile STL and assigning toolpaths

Since this was first set up, Carbide Create v8 has been released, and the UI has changed somewhat. Install v8 per: which when launched appears as: [image] Given the requirement: cut out the 3d model to approximately 3/4 " thick with the base material or the material that is left under the image to at least 1/2" One would set up the file as: [image] which when converted into Imperial shows a thickness of 0.8276" [image] so we reduce the thickness to 0.75": [image] So we draw a…

If you’re still stuck, upload your .c2d file and describe in what way the 3D preview isn’t appropriate to how you wish to cut things out.
