Create repeating patterns quickly and accurately with the Copy Array tool in CarveWright Designer. In this Designer 6 tutorial, you’ll learn how to create horizontal, vertical, alternating, and circular arrays of objects. You can control the number of elements, spacing, and indentation to quickly build everything from simple rows to checkerboard-style patterns. We’ll also show
The Drill tool lets you add precise drilled features directly in Designer — standard holes, counterbores, and countersinks — by specifying diameter, depth, drill bit or end mill, and pass depth, without having to build the geometry by hand.
A feather is a sloped transition from the the top of the board to the edge of the 3D carved area. This is used to make those depth transitions more aesthetically pleasing and to make the carve less load heavy on the bit.
A Carve Region can be applied to any closed shape to define a flat depth.
There are several basic drawing tools in Designer for creating shapes and drawn line art.
Textures are a selection of variable sized repeating patterns that can be used with any selected region.
The Materials tool is a dynamic texture generator. There are a selection of default materials to choose from, or any material can be cloned to customize your own materials.
The place tabs tool is used to define raster carving tabs from manually placed lines made with the drawing tools. These types of tabs are for 3D raster carvings only.
The Rout Tools are a collection of tools for applying router bits as a variable depth path following a selection of profiles. There is also a quick edge rout tool for automatically applying a router profile to the edge of the workpiece.
