=Working with a 3D model=
If you have an stl file and want to import it into VCarve you will need to do the following:
1. Open a new file
2. setup your material dimensions
3. import the STL file.  File -> import -> import component 3d model
4. scale and center the model onto your material.
5. Use the 3dModel tools to create the toolpaths.
There is a video I followed that explains all of these steps.
