Dogbone dressup not on one corner
I am trying to fully face a surface which has one edge against a vertical face. MillFace leaves artefacts in the corners and I thought a Profile with a vertical T-bone dressup may remove the artefacts.
It works perfectly on three corners but I can't get it to work on the bottom left corner.
All four dressup locations are listed and ticked, but unticking the second dressup has no visible effect on the path.
The only dressup which works on all four corners if the basic Dogbone, but this isn't suitable as it cuts into the vertical face. OS: Windows 10 (10.0)

Re: Dogbone dressup not on one corner
I'm not quite clear on what you're trying to do. Maybe have a look at PocketShape and it's Extensions - could be what you're looking for. Otherwise maybe post your file so i can have look.
Re: Dogbone dressup not on one corner
Thanks for replying.
Sorry I forgot to attach the file.
I am trying to learn as much as possible about Path, and I'm looking at how to completely clear a face with a vertical edge on one side.
Contour removes excess stock around the outside, and MillFace avoiding raised objects removes all of the rest except in the corners. I thought that adding a vertical T-bone dressup should fix the problem, and it does exactly what I want in three places but not in the lower left corner.
The location of the missing dogbone is shown and ticked in the list, but it doesn't show in the path.
It is the second one.
While there may be alternative ways of doing what I want, unless I am doing something wrong, it seems to be a problem with the dressup.
The only dogbone dressup which does work on all four corners is the basic dogbone which is unsuitable as it cuts into the vertical face..
I am not working on an actual model, just learning what can and can't be done in Path, and how the various operations and dressups work.

It works here if I use fixed or custom incision:

Thanks chrisb. I hadn't thought about a recompute but that fixed it. I'll make a note of that.
Interesting that only the basic Dogbone doesn't need a re-compute.
Also after the re-compute I needed, the others don't need a recompute.
Does this warrant a ticket, and if so, as a bug or a feature request. I see it as a bug, but I lack experience.

Re: Dogbone dressup not on one corner
No, I don't think so yet. It works here out of the box. Can you reproduce the lacking recompute?

Re: Dogbone dressup not on one corner
If I delete the Dogbone dressup and add it again, it always needs a re-compute.
Here is another model I have just drawn using a slot instead of a step, and again it is the same corner that is missing, but this time the re-compute doesn't work.
One thing I noticed this time is that the re-compute tool is grey before I do a simulate but is blue after I have simulated and still in the simulator. Doing a re-compute hasn't fixed it this time. I tried a re-compute in the simulate mode and also back in the tree, and neither worked.
There is nothing in the tree to show a re-compute is needed.
Re: Dogbone dressup not on one corner
Can someone with a newer version than mine retest this please.
P.S. Just tested: Recompute solves the last upload as well.
