5-axis profiling and scribing in 5Xtra.
New function for creating lines perpendicular to the model along a curve or several curves. It works on a single surface, polysurfaces and/or solids. It also includes some extra control for angle limits of the machine head, unify normals and flip normals. The perpendicular lines are automatically generated and grouped so that they can be selected by one click when used for the 5-axis trimming/scribing function.
Mesh tolerance. (3X,4X,5X and 5Xtra)
New tolerance to set in madCAM options that will be used for the mesh. If the Rhino render mesh is set to "jagged and faster" or if the "maximum distance edge to surface" is set larger than the madCAM tolerance, madCAM will automatically regenerate the mesh according to the madCAM tolerance before it's used for toolpath calculation. In this way, you do not have to think about the mesh settings in Rhino.
Start points. (3X,4X,5X and 5Xtra)
New option for selecting one or several start points. madCAM will use the start points for linking the toolpath and having the entry point closests to the closest start point. madCAM will check which start point that is closest and calculate the entry point on each toolpath. (3X,4X,5X and 5Xtra)
Default without start points.
