Ok this should work with both problems.!
First make a new layer, call it edges or something and select this layer to work on. Then Extract the edges using the "extract edges" option in utilities menu.
Then use these lines to either create boundries for the 3d toolpath boundry or use the lines in 2D to get the toolpath from.!!. . . .Simplizzz.
Edit: Forgot to say that when using lines for 3D toolpath then you will want to offset them by some amount, usually just a bit more than the cutter diameter or half Dia depending on tool and geometry.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 14-05-2012 at 05:34 PM.
