This function creates a trajectory along the edge of a CAD.

Tool orientation:

  • Bisector: The tool vector (red line) cuts the angle between the surfaces into two equal parts.

  • Perpendicular: The tool vector (red line) is perpendicular to either surfaces.

 

  • Tangential: The tool vector (red line) is tangential to either surfaces.

Auto join:

  • Disabled: Will not join base paths together.

  • Always: Will join any toolpath sharing a start/end point.

  • If same tool vector: Will join any toolpath sharing a start/end tool vector.

Chain tangent edges:

  • If selected, it will check the tangencies of adjacent surfaces with a tolerance of ±25° and try to propagate the base path.

Flip vectors:

  • If checked: Tool vectors will rotate by 180°.
