The solid is too solid, you need to be able to see thru it and see the internal shape of the cut, which is the actual target in this case. Possibly axis has a way to make that translucent rather than a solid white?
I am watching my much improved & faster version simulate a run now, looking for clues in the debug output between the course and fine loops to see if I can determine why the fine loop isn't showing in the preview. If I can't spot the error, I'll replace that file with what is running now & maybe someone else can spot it. But I might try the axis stop, axis start stuff to see if that would improve my preview image. Hide the course cut stuff once its proven. ;-) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action! > The most comprehensive online learning library for Microsoft developers > is just $99.99!
