Glad it helped! I used the tricks from this video for many years, and they got me out of many problems.

Yes Bill you do that, But this solid has no history so you would have to use model prep to remove the holes. Then to keep ref to drill the holes you would need to copy the solid to another layer and keep track of it. Plus surfaces calculate faster. Plus this trick works in all versions of mastercam, because you can extent the surfaces to extend the tool paths. There is nothing wrong with removing the holes locking the toolpath it works. And is some cases I would do that. If you have good computer with a enough ram. If you have and old computer with minimum of ram the surface trick works better. I work with a lot of small shops that run older version of mastercam with older computers so the surface option work better for them. Thank you for you feedback Bill.

@@integratedsolidsolutionsll3313 agree, surface from solids is a great way to deal with solids without having to have the solids option.

Glad you like them! If you like this one you should really like what's coming up 2 weeks from now

Good I hit print as they removed the comment with better and faster way from some user

You're welcome!

Your Welcome. I used this trick for many years. It solved many problems making all types of 3d parts.

My pleasure!

I am happy you learned from this video
