Never mind I remembered/found it. It is one of the choices under Priority Order, not one of the choices under Object Order.

Does anyone know if there is a way to output your cnc file to cut by layer? I thought there was but can't seem to find a way to. I'd like the router to cut all the deepest holes first, then progress up, cutting the next shallower layer each time. I got it to mostly do that by setting the...

Okay, I finally get it, I have to delete the relief, which does not delete the contours. Now I can change and trim anything! Thanks for sticking with me.

I was trying it without tool path applied, and in a top view. One bit of progress I have made, if I keep ungrouping it, eventually it does. Then I can delete individual loops, but still can't modify points. That's enough for now, I'm just dealing with the added machine time. Thanks!

I tried several of those things - editing points, cut by line, and ungrouping. I'm not familiar with the linearize tool or where to find it. Nothing seems to be able to interact with the extracted contours. I'm thinking maybe when you extract slices from a mesh relief, the contours are not the...

Anyone who is familiar with enroute know how I could get rid of the perimeter passes? https://imgur.com/a/m1TootW When I do the layer extraction and then create an engrave, follow contour router path, it also includes the outer edge of the original mesh relief. I wouldn't mind this if it was the...

First test a success (mostly). https://imgur.com/a/ZH3RbHt It's looking great! There was some redundancy in the tool paths for some reason, so it took a lot longer to cut than necessary, but I'll be working on that today. Thanks for the help everyone!

I think i figured it out: Import the 3D surface, apply relief mesh to it, "extract layers" from the surface, then engrave applied to contour. Now I just need a faster computer. It is quite bogged down by the number of contours, and that is just with my small test sample. Need to be able to do...

I was heading down a similar path. I sliced my sample piece into layers, but was exporting a separate dxf for each level, importing into EnRoute, and assigning each a corresponding cut depth. With your method, are you saying your file you input into enroute is 3D (each profile at a different...

When I do an island fill, applied to the contour, I get this: https://imgur.com/iBspwpx I am hoping to get something like this: https://imgur.com/9pwEh3N

I am actually using Enroute, and have been playing with the relief cutting. Like that video though, I can only get paths that are linear. I'm attempting to create a path that starts at the highest point, and cuts a "ring" at increasing deeper depths. I'm thinking I may have to slice the 3D model...

I am working on a project where we are attempting to machine a water droplet wave effect into a piece of wood. I was hoping to come up with a way to machine it all at once, but with each pass following a contour line, a specific "elevation" like on a map. Typically the router path would be...
