Hi all,
Im trying to generate a toolpath in vcarve for a topography map to be milled in wood, something similar to the attached picture.
If 2 layers happen to stack up on the Z axis with a straight line, that's not a problem. However if the vertical stack is a curve is there anyway to copy a section of the path 'above'.
In the below example, assume a block 20mm thick, with section 1 on the face, section 2 being a 5mm cut, section 3 being a 10mm cut etc. Where 1 meets 2, I cant seem to 'close' the vector for part 2.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Lee

In case you don't get an answer here, have you asked this question on the Vectric forum ?

I don't use V-carve pro but I would imagine separate Vectors on differant layers would easily sort that out.?

Hi both,
Yes I think you are right with seperate vectors on different layers, I'm just struggling to make the vector shapes identical for the small portion where they 'touch'
I imagine it can be done by copy/paste and manually cropping but just wondered if there was a smarter way to go about it.
Thanks for the input so far
