=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. | |||
