Add faces to a finishing operation, or remove faces from it, by picking them in the 3D view. You can also use this to give unfinished faces to an operation.
Change the faces
- In the Program stage, click the finishing operation's row to open its panel.
- Click Edit strategy.
- Under Faces, click Change selected faces.
- In the 3D view, click faces to add or remove them. The colors show where each face comes from:
- Selected faces: faces this operation will machine.
- From another operation: faces another operation machines now. Selecting one moves it to this operation.
- From unassigned: faces no operation machines.
- Not compatible: faces this operation can't machine.
- Click Confirm on the banner over the 3D view. It shows Validating... while CAM Assist checks the selection.
- Click Apply.
Clear All clears the selection. Cancel on the banner discards the face changes but keeps the editor open.
To see which faces are unfinished first, click unfinished faces in the program summary at the top of the Program pane. See Why didn't CAM Assist finish some faces?
