I was trying to follow this tutroial > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U23eLLXuX3o
attached is a pic and the file I made to test it out and the Freecad.

Id can setup this in Vcarve within a minute.
setup tool database is way confusing in Freecad lol.

but I need to learn Freecad for the adaptive toolpath and fusion360 is no option for me with online/cloud stuff.

Tnx!

Hi Matadem, so if you set WriteAnalyticSurfaces=y inside moi.ini then MoI should write out PLANE surfaces instead of B_SPLINE_SURFACE_WITH_KNOTS.

That's what I did to make the attached version.

Does this file behave better when you load it into FreeCAD?

Ok it is showing some toolpaths so I am going in the right direction with the file you provided.

I am running some more tests tomorrow.

Thanks!

Ok it works!
So I am going to play with it some more and do some test cuts....

I always think that Freecad could be a better program if it wasn't free lol.
I always follow its progress...

Thanks!
