Hide stock model

[Jespertech]

Is it possible to set a stock model to a level so it can be turned on and off once created?

I'm not sure about assigning it to a level, but it can be toggled on/off by either displaying or not displaying it in the toolpath manager just like any other toolpath.

Yessss! thank you, I knew there was a simple solution I just couldn't think of it.

You can also convert to PMesh and then save the PMesh to a level.  There is one major benefits to this is that you can then delete the stock model.  Then reference the PMesh vs the stock model.  So if you go into an operation linked to the stock model and change something simple like the stock to leave on walls then you only need to update the operation and you dont have to wait for the stock model to regen too.  Of course if you changed your stock to leave on walls by a large amount then you might want to re-create the stock model but most of the time its a small amount that doesnt really visually effect the stock model.

To convert stock model to pmesh right click on the stock model operation and select mill toolpaths -> stock model convert to pmesh..

 

In verify under the verify tab at the far right, there is an option save stock as stl, which you could also use to save your file externally then import it to the level you want
