Thanks Barry, I took a different route, I imported a bmp and used "Surface from heightfield bitmap. THen I scaled the z axes to suite the limitations of my...
Hi Neil, Were you able to get Rhino to cut off parts of (or crop) the mesh it created from the "Heightfield from bitmap" command? If so, how did you do that? ...
... it ... did ... When The Heightfield from bitmap command is involked, you are given the option of images you desire to use. Then you are prompted to ...
Neil, I was (barely) with you until the last paragraph. I'm going to re- read it while I "sing along" in Rhino and perhaps it will all be clear to me... Rock...
I am having trouble getting MeshCAM set up properly to carve out a hollow in a block of stock while leaving the top face of that stock untouched. My machine...
There's a link on the download page for people who have a code already, but it's http://www.grzsoftware.com/directdl.php . Remember that page, it's also where...
This seems to be a common request lately. There is currently no way to tell MeshCAM to ignore the ambient area of a geometry. This will likely change in the...
I forgot to answer to chipping part. I'm not sure what the exact problem is, but if you can post a screenshot or the gcode I can take a look at it for you. ...
Robert, This has nothing to do with trouble hollowing but I went to the meshcam discussion group once and since then (about 3 weeks ago) I keep getting...
To be more specific with the instructions on changing the email settings: 1. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/meshcam 2. Click on the: "Edit My Membership"...
Even with the ability to constrain the solid in Rhino, in MeshCam we still always have to cut a solid that is a rectangle in xy. This could be troublesome if...
Robert, I created a folder and put my files in there so you can look at the chip problem I was talking about. For the life of me I can't watch cut viewer and...
On a long enough time line I'd like to have the ability to load a vector from a DXF file to constrain the path and provide a final cleanup. I'm not sure when...
Hey Robert, I took a screen shot of my current setup. I'm not quite sure if this is exactly what I had before, but it is similar and it ran it in cutviewer...
Robert, I almost forgot. I slowed down cutviewer and it appears that when the machine starts making the finish pass, it doesn't lift. In other words as the...
That's the way the finish passes work. All back and forth cutting, no rapid moves. You can only specify climb or conventional for roughing. Gerry ... it ... in...
Morning Barry, I didn't get a chance to stop back last week. My system went on the fritz so to speak. Have you been fooling around with the mesh surface in...
Hello Robert, Not to bother, but I was wondering if you have made any progress on my "chip" problem. I have continued to experiment with differnt settings and...
I went through the file, and it appears to be a kind of ZMap aliasing. When you create the toolpath, your geometry is converted to a heightmap on a rectangular...
The oversampling fix is something I think I would be interested in seeing. The parts that I will be routing are rather large. Increasing the stepover will...
This depends on the type of tooling, type of wood and how sharp the tool is. From my experience on a commercial router, I'd climb cut for the roughing passes...
Thanks Gerry, This is all new to me. It's nice to hear from someone who has experience in wood routing. I don't even qualify as a rookie since my machine...
Hi Neil, Sorry for the delay in answering, been out of town. The ovals were drawn in TurboCadCam and converted to G-Code. Each is approximately 1/2" deep....
Neil, Just to make sure it is clear, I did not use Meshcam for the ovals on the clock. Meshcam was used for the Red Raider on top and the Texas Tech logo on...
I just posted version 1.12 to http://www.grzsoftware.com/directdl.php . It has several good changes and bug fixes that have slipped by until now: - Fixed bug...
Hi Robert and every body, I am wondering if I am trying the correct application for this job, I just got my mill set up (Taig with with a Xylotex controller)...
