Error message when trying to verify using an STL

[Roger]

I have a part that I want to verify using an STL file saved in operation one.  When I tried to verify the first tool path in operation two, I got this error message.

Stock volume is too small to display.  Increase the stock volume or decrease the STL tolerance.

Anyone know how to fix this???

did u try remaking the stock with tighter stl tolerance?

is it a tiny part?

Thanks for replying.  The error message says to decrease the STL tolerance.   (Which I did try), It's also NOT a tiny part.  Overall length is 18"

This is the 1st time I've tried using an STL from a prier operation to verify.  This part is more complex, and I wanted to make sure I get all the features machined.  I've also looked into doing a stock model, but, that is another feature of Mastercam I've never used.

I have no experience with that but if I thawt if I reply ,

maybe someone good will notice the thread and actually help

I got it to work by saving the STL file externally, and choosing to use a file, instead of Solid/Mesh.
