3d adaptative clearing empty tool path

[simonto31]

Hello everyone, I'm in the process of programming CAM for a guitar neck. I want to do an 3D adaptative clearing to remove the bulk of the material on the headstock before doing a parallel toolpath to clean everything up but I always get a warning message that says that the toolpath is empty. I've made lots of changes to the settings but I always get the same result...

I really don't understand what the problem is. If anybody could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

On the geometry tab, I unchecked "include setup model".  That created a toolpath.  Not sure why you can't have that one checked... but it worked!

Your "Model" selection in your Setup is the top level component, which is grabbing everything, your modeled stock included. Intentionally select just the model you're looking to machine.

I guess that answers my questioning, I did not check that the model was wrongly selecting in the setup 😥

Thank you very much for your help!

Now I can move on to actually machining something!
