i was trying to figure out how to cut a sloped surface with e ball end mill.
i can not find any way to do this.
it would be similar to the carve pyramid but i want only one plane.
i.e. cut from surface top to 1/8" deep 1" to the right or left.
kind of like machining a door stop in plan.

You have to make more than two times the area one wants and then adjust accordingly, see:
I either need some guidance, or I am requesting a new 3D modeling feature for Carbide Create.
Built into Carbide Create is the ability to model Flat, Round, and Angle. In the screen shot below the top object is the classic “Angle” which produces a pyramid shape. What I want is (what I am calling) a “Ramp” shape, like the 2nd and 3rd objects below. Ramps angled horizontally or vertically.
A “Ramp” is almost the same thing as an “Angle” object, but the height just varies on two sides instead …
Or, model in a traditional 3D tool, export as an STL, then import the STL and cut that.
