What would it take to make a 'Waterline' method of machining for pycam? When I refer to that method, I mean:
Maintain Z level as a constant and move the cutter in X and Y around the part- then change Z position at the end of the path.
I don't know that there are a lot of advantages to this method- I was just wondering about the coding. I am looking at the code and seem to understand a good bit of it. Thanks for writing this program. It is inspiring.
Thanks,

I'm still working on this... waterline machining is currently on top of the to-do list, right after fixing bugs that is
