I like that Carbide Create Pro has the ability to import height maps and turn them into a 3D model, but I find the tool path creation in CCpro to be limiting, as I come from the F360 environment. Is there a way to export a .step file from CCpro so I can write the CAM in fusion?
I’m pretty sure the data is stored in CC as a height map. The 3D modeler in CC is really an image editor with geometric image functions. (Took me a while to wrap my head around that.)
The 3D modeler / “Show 3D” & “Show Simulation” are building a 3D pixel (voxel?) or faceted image/model.
I think the best we could hope for is to be able to output either as an .stl

Currently the only export is as a depth map pixel image — you could perhaps import or convert that.
If CC can export a depth map image, I wonder if this plugin for F360 will work? GitHub - hanskellner/Fusion360Image2Surface: Image2Surface Add-In for Autodesk Fusion 360
I found a website, Map2STL that creates 3D models of terrain and exports a STL mesh file that I can use for tool paths.
