Hello all, Have browsed the forum and think its great. Relatively new to MC X5 and am having a tough time with something and I hope you can give me some pointers.

I'm trying to create a raised ellipse, say 1.5 x 1 and about .2 high. Imagine a slice of an egg but not quite in perfect half. When I try to do a revolved surface I get some wild helixes and a central, round surface. If I so a rough and finish parallel toolpath on it, the tool follows these wild paths way off the surface of the ellipse and creates something more akin to a dough-boy helmet versus a domed ellipse. A swept surface is similar.

I've about hit the wall on this and am looking for some tips. I can do regular circles just fine, but these ellipses seem to be different beast. In short, I need to make a .2 raised 1.5 x 1 ellipse and the corresponding toolpath.

Anything is helpful; I've already gleaned lots of great stuff off this site.

Best.
