The Rest Material operation removes the material remaining after all the operations in a single Setup Section have been performed.
All the Setup Section operations, as well as the Rest Material operation itself, must be performed in Top CView.
If there is only one Setup Section in your project, SURFCAM will perform the Rest Material operation on the material left over from all the operations in that section. If there is more than one Setup Section, SURFCAM will prompt you to select the section on which to operate.
Z Finish
The Z Finish operation has tool moves that mimic the regular 3 axis Z Finish operation in that they are a series of 2 axis (X,Y) moves that occur in Z axis increments.
The Select menu will be displayed and you will be prompted to "Select surfaces to finish."
When you do, the 3 Axis Z Finish dialog box will be displayed with the additional tab: 3 Axis Rest Options.
Planar
The Planar operation has tool moves that mimic the regular 3 Axis Planar operation in that they are a series of parallel moves that follow the curve of the surfaces being cut.
The Select menu will be displayed and you will be prompted to "Select surfaces to cut across."
When you do, the 3 Axis Planar dialog box will be displayed with the additional tab: 3 Axis Rest Options.
