Re: Quick GibbsCAM help I hope.
If I only have a finished model. I make a copy. Then pull the copy into SW and add stock that roughly matches the raw casting. Once in Gibbs change the proprieties of the solids making one "Part"(finished) and one "Stock"(Raw). It's helpful to make an assembly of the two and orient them so that when you import them into Gibbs they sitting right where you want them.

How do I set up my material on a part that is imported to have that start hole? Now the rendering of the turn crashes because it is starting the rough bore operation at 0 and not 1.25.
Thanks
