I hate to keep coming back but new issues have risen

Trying to program a part that I’ve done before, except for it being a scaled up version but, I want to create a spiral tool path to face the part and it’s ignoring my inputs.

these parts are cast bronze and I’m only taken off a small amount compared to if it was just a block or cylinder of solid metal so, when setting up, in setup, I set stock to solid and select the body.

now I select 3D spiral and make my geometry selection.

I then go to the passes tab and do my z axial offset to start clear of excess stock. I then enter my inner and outer limit and select ok.
No matter what value is entered the tool path is the same. I do understand why that is bc of the stock being setup as model solid and shows no stock say at the smallest and largest offset I’ve entered but I did it before the update and it worked.

in the geometry tab it doesn’t matter how much of positive offset I enter, the tool path does not change. So I tried to go negative and took path wouldn’t generate, understandably.

I need to be able to start and end tool paths well outside the selected stock to account for the pour castings bc of the uncalled-for dimensional deviations.

I wish there was something like the tangential extension for start and end like 2d contour. I don’t think That would be hard to do and would be extremely useful.

hopefully Ive explained that well enough?

When I get home to my laptop I will try to load the model.

If you think you can offer any help I’d appreciate it. Thanks

Have you fixed your issue? if not upload your model or some screenshots of what you are trying to do.
