Roughing and finishing steps at different heights

Hello all, I have attached a file with a part that has many steps. 

 

I have been looking for a way in which to rough out and finish all the steps as one feature, instead of having to individually click every single step and make a new feature for each one. I tried using the Side feature in several different ways, but every time it would only have one height setting. Mostly I am looking for a way to rough out the pocket and remove the maximum amount of material, because as you can see in my program I am only roughing out the middle of the pocket and then finishing every step individually.

 

Any help/tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi @kgueorguiev,

 

Thanks for raising your query via Autodesk Forum.

 

It seems you hope to generate multiple features located at different Z heights, into a single feature using IFR. Am I correct?

If yes, I am not sure if you can generate it in 2.5D milling in FeatureCAM. However, I guess you may do so by creating surface milling features in 3-axis milling. If you can send a part, I can investigate it in detail.

 

If I am off the track, do let me know.

 

Thank You.

When I tried to upload the FeatureCAM file by itself it did not work, even though this is what I have done in the past on this forum. Weird. The page just refreshed without my file uploaded.

 

I will attach a zipped file to this post.

Hi @kgueorguiev,

 

I don't think you got a accepted result if you try to make this part in only one feature. But I think I would prefer do the rough something like the feature I have created.

 

Hope this is helpfull.

Thank you Jacob. This is the kind of roughing I wanted. 

 

Unfortunately I have very little experience with Surface Milling features. I wanted to make the same tool path you made, but when I do it it always cuts around the part as well as the inside, instead of just the inside of the part. I assume it has something to do with "check surfaces"?
