Title: Trim Toolpath
Post by: CUE_STRATHCLYDE on July 25, 2014, 03:22:27 PM

I have generated a toolpath for a cylinder using ISO SRF. Is there any easy way to delete a subset of the resultant points to restrict the end effector to visit points lying only on half of the cylinder?

Hello,
I've made a quick example where it excludes the points that are within a given box, take a look at the attachment (you have to be logged in to see it).
It basically emulates the behaviour of the ISO SRF component so that you can finetune it!

Hope that helps you along!
Best,
