Need to cut top surface down at an angle

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

Do you have Carbide Create Pro?

If so, see:

Using gradient graphics to model angles/inclines/ramps in Carbide Create Pro

The usual approach for making angles in Carbide Create Pro requires a large stock area, and oversize geometry which does not match the part being modeled (at least at first). An alternate option is to use a pixel image with a gradient as shown at: Here are 4 gradient files: gradients_2000x2000.zip (12.8 KB)

If not, can the piece be rotated? The profile is easily drawn up if it can be cut from the side.

Otherwise, see:

Making a base for a model

Given a prototype base: [image] How to make it in Carbide Create? First, we have a pixel image with some dimensions: [F-86 base scan with measurements] We import that into Carbide Create: [image] using “Set Background”: [image] and adjust for size: [image] [image] It’s then a matter of drawing and toolpaths and so forth (we will try to do it w/o Create Pro, but will also show that). For reference, there is an overhead view as well: [DSC00036]
