Summary


Details

A Contour Profile operation is used to create a tool path on Sheet Bodies. Because the faces being cut are Sheet Bodies and not a Solid Body the surface vectors can be in either direction. This could cause the tool to cut on the wrong side. How can the surface vectors be reversed if incorrect?
