STLs are not directly opened, instead they are imported as a 3D model component based on selected geometry (which provides a centerpoint for the XY positioning).
Please see:

and
First, configure the stock:

Draw in the geometry for the bowl and place as desired:

Inset by the desired width of the rim of the bowl:

Offset to the outside of the bowl by endmill diameter plus 10%:

Draw in geometry to define the stock (since we’ll be working subtractively):
[image]
Go to the 3D model tab and model the stock:

Select the geometry for the inner curve of the bowl and model it:

Given an STL file:

which one wants to cut out as:
[image]
one first loads it into Carbide Create Pro:

which previews in 3D as expected:

When an STL is imported, the perimeter will be traced:

Assuming one wants to cut around the 3D object, one offsets from this by endmill diameter plus 10% or so:

It is then possible to assign a 3D roughing toolpath using this offset geometry:

Then a 3…
