A face can't be finished from one machining direction. If it's split into sections, CAM Assist may be able to finish each section from a different direction. It's safe to continue.
Face requires splitting
Is it safe to continue?
Yes. If the face isn't split, CAM Assist doesn't finish the part of it it can't reach. Finish that area yourself in your CAM package.
How to clear it
Autodesk Fusion
CAM Assist can split faces for you. In the Assessment stage this issue shows as minor, with the note "CAM Assist may be able to finish these faces by splitting them automatically."
- Open the part's configuration: click Configuration at the top of the Setups, Feature planning or Tools stage.
- On the Finishing tab, make sure Automatic facet splitting is on. See Configuration settings.
- Click Run CAM Assist.
After the run, click Machinability feedback in the Program stage. Face split lists faces CAM Assist split. If it still shows Face requires splitting, splitting didn't help: split the face yourself in Fusion, or finish it in Fusion.
The recommended action under the issue may call this setting Allow face splitting. It's the same setting: Automatic facet splitting in the configuration.
Mastercam, GibbsCAM, Siemens NX and SolidCAM
CAM Assist can't split faces automatically in these packages.
- Split the face into sections in your CAD model.
- Close CAM Assist and start it again, then run it.
Or ignore the issue and finish that area in your CAM package.
Still seeing it?
If you've split the face and still see this warning, contact CloudNC support. Include the part file and your CAM Assist log files: see Find your CAM Assist log files.
