Thank you for doing all these software tutorials, they are a real help. As I get ready to try something new I often recall - Mark Lindsay did a video on that and come search it out. Your discussion about how to setup profile to not cut the tabs you put into the model was just what I was looking for. I did it another more complicated way. Next time, I am going to use your method. BTW props on your recognition by Vectric asking you to go live with them this week.
Thank you for all of your videos on Vectric software. I have learned a great deal from watching your videos. Very much appreciated. You mention in both of your objects that you need to draw a vector boundary around the 3D object. What happens if you do not do that. Does that need to be done in all 3D modeling in this software? Thank you.
Thank you, Jay! That's a great question for the Live Q&A! I'll answer and demonstrate it there this afternoon. If you don't have a chance to watch live this afternoon, you can check it out at your convenience after the live video is processed, and it's a standard video.
Consider: Double sided Job, models on both sides of a .75" job as presented. Could you put 3D tabs in the center of the thickness on first side, say .25" deep with a 3/8" base height, then on the second side make the profile tool path 7/16" deep with 5/15" tabs? That should make the 3D tabs on the bottom with a clean cut on the top, should it not? Do you think this would work? Thanks for the informative video.
It sounds good, but let me do a couple of simulations and I'll get back to you. You could always try it and Preview it - you don't have to wait for me. There are always a bunch of different ways to get a great result. I'm going to show a couple in today's Live Q&A. This video was just getting so long, I showed the quick way to get it done.
When you add 3D tabs to your component tree, they become part of the composite model. Any offset boundary you add to the toolpath will be applied to the whole model, including the tabs.
Thanks so much. Just what I was looking for!!!!
Just what I needed, thank you!
Thast was a great idea on the profile cutout.Thanks!

Thanks a Lot!
Thanks a lot Mark. Very clear and useful video
very interesting again. Thanks Mark

For some reason when I preview tool path it's also applying the model offset boundary to my tabs. Can anyone help me?

So that's how vanilla wafers are made.
