Does anyone know if RhinoCam 2016 will import .stl stock to machine? I know that VisualMill 5.0 would. Not sure about the RinoCam 2016. Someone told me that you could only use part or box stock. I would like to bring in the Model stock to machine. Thanks.

If you have the Pro or Premium version of RhinoCAM 2016, you can create a stock model using the "Stock from Selection" function. Just click that box, then select the object you want to designate as stock; it will automatically mesh it and use it as a stock model, as long as it's watertight. But even if you don't have Pro, there are more options for stock than Part or Box.

Thank you so much for the reply. That is good to know.

it might import the file but by mecsoft australias own admission isnt very friendly although a rhino plug in hates stl files
NCGCAM for stl files it takes minutes to program a pass excludes ALL tool collisions automatically
just going off my experience and hords of emails telling me im disillusion thinking rhinocam is a silver bullet fix to stl files and that im IGNORANT to think otherwise
25k down the drain
i will admit mecsoft usa Uday is fantastic to deal with but getting up at 2 am to fix a problem just doesnt suit id expect they get up at 2am for that price
Australian mecsoft are useless
