Changing surface flowline

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm having difficulty with the swarf mill toolpath again. This is very frustrating.

One thing I'm thinking is going wrong is that I'm using multiple surfaces, all of which can be extended smoothly, but when I try and make the flowline on them I have to switch between u and v to get the lines to travel the same direction. My thought is the swarf is looking at this the same way where it is looking at some surfaces as vertical and some as horizontal. Is there a way to rotate a surface or something that will let me switch my u and v on a surface?
Thanks

Working on creating a new surface, looking for ideas on how to do this.

First try I'm selecting the surface boundary, then creating a flat plane on my tplane a using curve flowline to make a .1 grid, then projecting it onto my surfaces and then hiding the surface so now I have a grid flowline and my outer boundary.  Now I plan on using net somehow
