Controlling the Plunge / Ramp point

[tazbaby]

Good morning,


I am trying to find a way to contol the plunge / ramp position when creating volume & pocket sequences. Unfortunatly pro seems to pick at random where it wants to start, and this is causing quality issueson finishing sequences. I am using both 2001 and WF2.


Is there a way of controllling this point ? If so can someone give me a hint as it will save me alot of polishing !!

..


Kindest regards,


Taz

Hi
u can control the plunge point very well indeed.
create a point or an an axis exactly where u want to plunge.
then go to buildcut, approach, whole volume, then select the point u have created.
now it should plunge at ur point

Thank you Dibz..


This is fine for simple pockets, but some i create have "Islands".. As soon as it begins to mill theses islands it returns to the original plunge point, still leaving me with the same problem.


I really dont want to be adding a "strt point" for every individual slice, this would be nrly impossible.


Kindest regards,


Taz
