Sounds great! Is this a pure python solution, so that I could just replace the Mod/Path directory?

Re: Omitting one or more sides when contouring/profiling
Not quite, it loads the dialog from the tresource file - so you would have to regenerate the Path, or edit PathDressupPathBoundaryGui.py to load the file directly. If you do the latter it is a pure python only implementation.
Re: Omitting one or more sides when contouring/profiling
Thanks for the (slightly disappointing ) answer. If you are only halfway confident, I vote for just including it in 0.19. After all it is a development version.

I hope this demonstrates how it works and what it does:
Re: Omitting one or more sides when contouring/profiling
I guess the position of the box is controlled by its placement? And non-rectangular areas can be defined via existing solid? Then it is exactly what was needed since long time.

Re: Omitting one or more sides when contouring/profiling
It's probably not that obvious from the gif but Stock002 in this example is a regular box, you can resize it, rotate it, move it around. And like the regular Job.Stock it can be a Box, a Cylinder, an extension of the model's BoundBox or an arbitrary solid.

Schnebeck, I owe you indeed a beer. Markus, I owe you at least a crate of beer.

Re: Omitting one or more sides when contouring/profiling
That is awesome! I just played with it and cut random areas of a complex profile with the laser.
Look it even brought Sliptonic back from the land of the living!

Cool stuff! I donate my beer if this gets merged into the main devel tree soon
Thanks a lot
