I had the same problem with the latest svn version. It generates extra paths that cut trough the model.
This problem is absent in the previous version 5.1 (linux)

@Patrick:
please send the model via mail to me (sumpfralle users.sourceforge.net). A more detailed description of the process parameters (or a screenshot) would also be great.
@nobody:
The new svn version behaves a bit tricky in this regard: you need to select a "collission model" in the "task" tab. I will add a warning dialog regarding this issue soon.
Or did you encounter a different problem?
cheers,

It is exactly as you say. I have encountered the issue with the Waterline process, the issue is present when no collision model is selected.
This program is an essential part of the toolchain.
Thanks.

I am glad to hear, that your (nobody's) issue is fixed. I just added a warning regarding the missing collision model to svn. The warning will show up in the status bar (for a short time). Additionally it will be added as a warning to the log window - thus there will a quite visible "warning" icon in the status bar, as well.
Do you think, this would solve this user interface problem?
cheers,

thanks for sending me the DXF file - the shape looks very good!
The issue is a problem of the "contour (polygon)" algorithm - it simply fails to work correctly, if the bounding box cuts through a piece of the model. Instead you need to generate the toolpath for the whole model. Alternatively you could also try the "polygon (follow)" algorithm - but sadly it is not very stable.
Hope this helps!
cheers,
Lars

Hi,
I have a dxf model of the letter a
"remove material" and "cleanup" produce correct paths on it but "carve contour" cuts the model in two where it shouldn't
I would share the dxf file if I know how.
Thank You
Patrick

Yes, the warnings should be sufficient.
