After clicking on right panel you’ll see Shape editor tool panel where you can find all features of this tool Select your vector and click shape editor icon on top menu. Artcam has other 3D editing tools but to extrude simple shape you need to use Shape editor tool. To do that go to Project panel and click right mouse button on Vector layer.Īfter importing be sure that your vector closed vector. In the first step, we need to import vector that we need. However, to create models with the textured surface you’ll need spend a lot of time and use a different tool to get the result as you want.
To create new 3D models in a form that you wish you’ll need to first create or import vector and only then extrude it from to create relief. Also, there are no tools that will allow you to create and modify the 3d object with different views. To create any 3d relief in Artcam you’ll need shape as there are no any standard 3D geometric figures like in other 3D software. In this case, you can import 3D models from other 3d Modeling software. In another side, you don’t need a full 3D model, of course, if you are not using 3D CNC router. You’ll not able to freely create 3D models like in other 3D software. Of course, Artcam has enough tools to prepare 3D files to cut in CNC but don’t wait for something special from it.
