|
||||
First of all, change render engine to CAM to use the blender cam tool.
|

* **Estimate from model** - will assume the workpiece/material has the same size as the model, with radius around the model.

If not enabled then the Material origin and Material size are used in case when the material/workpiece is not the same as the model. The 3D view will show the machine work area with a hashed outline and the material size and position will be a lighter grey. The material object is not selectable in the 3D view but can be selected in the Outliner and has the name CAM_material.

* **Position object** - this will move the object to positive X and Y and negative Z so that it is fully in the work area and closest to the origin.
