Recommended reading or tutorial on how to use 3D in CC?

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

We’ve done some tutorials on specific things and there is an overview at:

Modeling Instructions

OK…I can’t just let this drop. I started to experiment with the modeling and attempted to observe the behavior of the various parameters. I’ve begun to chart out those observations. This is, by no means, complete (and may even be inaccurate) and I would much rather have C3d developers post what’s really going on in the calculations, but here are my findings - so far. I cannot figure out what the real purpose of max and min are…and multiply SEEMS to have no purpose. I need to do more observati…

Starting with 2.5 d carving

Hi all. I would like try to make something like this tray. Is this possible to do on Carbide Create? I have a file for it, but it is for vectric software and I won’t be shelling out for that anytime soon. Or if anyone has a link to a simple 2.5 d file that I can mess around with that would be awesome. I have fusion 360 but am only just starting to figure that one out. Thanks! [44%20PM]

Trial Ver 432 3D carving Not finding much info other than a Star

Needing a little help with what Carbide Create can do and what it can’t do. Seems any videos I find and even in this site are all done with Vcarve software or fusion360. Can Carbide Create carve from an image like “Mikes” lighthouse? or a horse. Also I am using a Mac. Thanks for any insight

3D Model - Creating a Ramp object

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 …
