    Z level Finish for single surface draft BobCAD CAM V27

    In this video I show you how machine a single surface that has draft. Some of the boundary tricks and options to make it all go right.

    In your example RAF,you would need to untrim surfaces first to bring it back to it's natural shape,,then you can extend
    or
    the better way here would be to extract from single,Then do an offset or a Parallel line to the extracted wireframe.Then planar that.
    and
    with Advanced Z Level Finish you can adjust lead in and out and possibly not need to extend at all.

    The Example that I am trying to Extend is the sample part that Al has in this video and having trouble getting it to Extend.

    I have been able to Extend other Geom ok but this seems to be more stubborn.

    You have to untrim surfaces first to bring the surface back to it's "natural boundaries"



    For this reason I like my 2nd idea better in this situation
