3d surface covers model instead of selected faces

Post by monkeydog »

Hello, Not sure if this is expected behaviour so checking...(I expected the path to include just the selected faces).

I've got fillet edge on my rectangle-shaped model, which results in 8 faces along the edge (top left, top, top right, left, right, bottom left, bottom and bottom right).

I'm using a 3d surface cut to mill this, in a single operation. This works ok until I add the final face which causes the entire model surface to be milled.

Tool path looks like it's going to be OK (bottom left face to be added)

Entire model top gets a 3D surface now

Here is the model for reference. The fix I'm using is to leave a face out (Model-Body.Face7) which then gets added as its own operation (op rounded-edge-bottom-left-corner).

Is this the right approach or has something gone AWOL?

This is likely a bug. I will add it to my maintenance list for this op. 0.19 is the first official release that incorporates this complete overhaul of 3D Surface. Thank you for reporting this. We look forward to more useful feedback from users about this operation.

Nice project!

Exactly that happened to me too, but I was using a pocket operation.
There were four oval holes and as I selected the four wall segments in the last hole, the entire surface got included. And it wasn't just a matter of removing it again. I had to remove the operations, too.

Afternoon sir.
My apologies that it took me so long to respond. Yes, I think opening a Mantis ticket would be a good thing for bug.

Thanks you.
