3D finish : my z does not go down, stays at surface

[eric.thepaut3]

Hello,

i had already this problem before, i tried morph, scallop and parallel, and the tool path stays at the model top. Its for a filet. I had several fusion crashes recently and started from a recover file. Maybe something has changed... I did only 2D operations on it today successfully.

Thanks for the help.

All those toolpaths are for finishing and will only follow the surface of the Model.

Stay Safe

Hi @eric.thepaut3 

In setup "Corps Face", you've selected the guitar body and the Brut in the models.  This is what is causing the issue.  Fusion is recognizing that body "Brut" as one of the final parts which is impeding the 3d finishing toolpath.

If this is a representation of your stock, then select this body in the stock definition page of the setup.

OK, but i need to select both bodies to have the same center axis, if i don't do that i have an offset between face and back. So you say to select only the guitar body and not the "brut"? And if i select "from solid" ?

[eric.thepaut3]

I don't anderstand why i have an offset between the stock and guitar body y axis, my stock has been made with a center rectangle based on the y axis of the model. That's my main issue from the beginning...

Hi @eric.thepaut3 

If the "Brut" body is what defines your stock, then I would define that in my setup using "from solid".  You can define the WCS wherever you need to.  You can even define it from the Brut body.

If you define the Brut as a machinable model, you are going to have a difficult time with 3d toolpaths since Fusion will see both of them when generating.
