Creating an stl model for verification

[rickcact]

I created a simple toolpath with .005 stock to leave to roughly simulate the part that I will be cutting soon. How do I crate a STL file for verify to use. For the life of me, I cannot remember how to do this. Thanks in advance for the help.

When you're in verify, there's a little disc icon on the verify menu, to the right of the ruler - just hit that after you have run your verify

Or, if you want to make an STL from your model, you can Save > As STL, or just pick the solid from the verify options on the same verify popup

This will save it as the finished part sizee though. I need a "roughed" part for verifying. Your first answer will work. Thank you.

You can use his second suggestion to "STL Compare" what you cut against the correct finished part & see (color coded) where you left or removed too much material.

If you are using a surface model you could create an over-sized model by using X-Form scale. We used to do that for shrink factor when building injection molds.
