Is it possible to partially process STL files with different tools?

[LeongDaddy (Bae seonghan)]

After loading an STL file in Carbide Creat Pro, is it possible to specify a partial area of ​​the modeled shape for each tool when running 3d rough or 3d finish?

For example, only the flat parts are cut using a flat bit, and the 90-degree inclined parts are processed using a 90-degree V bit.

The basic method that I know how to do now is to overlap and process the same area for both flat bits and v bits.

If this method were possible, the processing time would be reduced and the surface quality would likely be significantly superior.

You can draw vectors wherever you want and use them to define the bounds for your various passes.

I have no idea how to do it.
I can’t find any related buttons.
If possible, could you give a more kind explanation?

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

When an STL is imported, geometry is auto-traced around it:

If you wish, that geometry may be selected and offset to the outside:

Alternately, deselect everything:

and use the Polyline or Curve tool to re-draw things. See:

I think the reason I’m not getting the answer I want is because I’m not good at asking questions.
I am not good at English, so I am asking questions through Google Translate.
I hope you understand.

Question again:
1.Load the STL modeling file.
2. Create a shape using the ‘3D rough’ function.
3. Is it possible to ‘3D finish’ only the desired part, excluding the perfectly cut part?

[CullenS (Cullen Simpson)]

The answer is yes.

You need to draw in some vectors around the area you want to cut and then select that vector as the boundary for your 3D paths.

[LeongDaddy (Bae seonghan)]

thank you.
I finally figured it out!

[CullenS (Cullen Simpson)]

Good. Sorry, I was not in a position to demonstrate earlier.

[LeongDaddy (Bae seonghan)]

Without you I would have given up.
You let me know it was possible so I could try again and again.
Thank you again.
