why is the modeling plane half way through the material? is the bottom half the material (represented by the red rectangle) not going to be used at all? this part doesn't make sense to me. I 3d print and when I import a 3d model I can "drop it" to the build plate. which makes sense, and it would make sense here as well. working off a plane 'in the middle of the material volume' makes no sense I can figure. so.. please explain that. another thing I've found is that if the item is rotated off desired axis, there doesn't seem to be a 'this side down' feature, again, like you can find in any modern slicer. this would seem useful for repositioning a 3d model for carving. I don't know if you folks follow orca slicer or prusa slicer or development, but there's useful features there for working with 3d model orientation, positioning, quick editing (like slicing into two) etcetera. :-) many more things, but a lot of it also isn't relevant outside 3d printing. but the 'working with a 3d part' certainly is. :-) I mean.. maybe I should be working with and positioning the part in the 3d slicer and then exporting from there to import into here.. but.. for the $$$$ for the aspire software, I'd think it has some of the useful features that all free slicers currently have. :-) but, this is just feedback from someone from the 3d printing community. maybe you agree there can be some cross-learning and sharing of features, maybe not. it's just my 2 cents. ;-)
Hello CrudelyMade... lost of interesting stuff. These comments might be best directed to support@vectric.com, they can address the questions along with submit feature requests. Thanks.
Hello. There is not an option in VCarve Desktop or Pro to export out to STL; you will need to use Aspire for that. VCarve is still a very powerful piece of software for importing and creating tooling for 3D models, along with all of its other features. We do understand that, for some, it is not a good fit.
Your presenter for the Layers and 3D. Please can you talk a little slower and take a prose. Your presentation is full of information that needs to be absorbed. Please can you look at the way that Todd and Bekki present, Thay give a Littel time to make notes and we can see which tab they are using. Just as a comment I have played your Layers, Utube three times and still don't understand it all.

So vcarve is basically useless- if you can’t export in stl? Or is that just the trail version?

Can vcarve pro import more than one stl yet like carveco?
Hello... We have not change that, you can still import in one STL, but as many V3Ms as you like.

Hello and thank you for leaving a comment. We will take that on board for the next time we record. :)
