I used a boundary surface sorry. Two guide curves (purple) two open groups (blue)

So all I did was create some sketches with a line at a 20 or 15 degree angle perpendicular to the curve I created on the horizontal flat face. I then connected an...

Hey my friend I figured it out no problem. Thanks though.

Oh yeah duuuaahh. Thats true. totally forgot about that one.

I figured it out. It is just something to get used to. Mastercam has some pretty nice tools.

Yeah CADCAM I got your model. Pretty sick man!! This one is different. I'll send to you later. this one is more exact. The one I gave you before was the work in progress. I tried the surface fill...

I have another question. I need to surface finish this surface. I really only know how to use flowline and when I select the face it wont select the holes so I can't get mastercam to cut the whole...

Figured it out. I'll post a tutorial later. Thanks for sparking an idea.

Hey guy's,

I have a guitar model that has a radius on the back of the heel joint. I'm trying to recreate it but its giving me a hard time.

Let me know if any one has any idea's.

thanks,...

Worked perfectly.

alright sir. Good luck. Always appreciate it.

Cadcam,

I got that to work. If I want to contour the body out of the blank, "body profile cut" how would I select the edges to make a continuous loop.

When i select individual edges, it cuts...

Wow. Thanks a lot. step by step.

Yeah I know how to do that. When you select the partial loop for the neck pocket how did you select the whole boundry? I can select them individually than click partial loop but it doesn't give me...

Very well, I'll give it a try. Appreciate it.

I see what your saying. This is a 3d part that I imported from solidworks. The problem is once you make that new curve how do you select edges and the curve? From what I have tried you can't.

I didn't know if this needed to go in another thread. Sorry if it wasn't.

I asked a question in a thread about the neck pocket but this problem is also bugging me. I'm trying to build the tool...

Man you are quick. I investigated the model a little more and it isn't parallel two degree compensation. You guy's were right. Apologize for the stupid question. I have been using flow lines for...

cadcam, did what you said still giving me the error.

Will check it out. Appreciate the advice.

Thanks,
Dave

OK I'll take a look later tonight. Should be parallel though.



Yes, I tried to just use edge and select the edge chain. same thing happened.



I would hope so. the WCS is the top Plane....

Hey,

Pretty new to mastercam. I want to use a pocket to cut this "neck pocket" for my guitar but am having trouble. Boundry doesn't lie in the construction plane. Is it because of the holes?
...

Yeah I figured it out. Thank you so much.

Yeah that looks great. Did you only use like a 15 degree angle for the superstrat/jem? it looks like the arm contour starts to round once it gets to the bottom.

Hey guys,

I'm new to surfacing and want to make the arm contour for one of my model guitars but don't have a clue on how to do it. I found a way to make the contour for the back contour but...
