    I am basically ok with some simple planes. Been cutting them put and they work just fine. My problem is, When I try to do an inside cut on say, a slot for the wing and elevator It will not show the cut line. It keeps showing up on the outside of the fuseladge only. How do i get it to recognize that inside area? Quick info, I make the oblong slot and then delete the inside of that slot so it is white there. I click on "I" for inside and then put it over that cutout area but nothing happens. That sound right. Thanks once again for suggestions. Hope this is enough info.

    You have to have a face in there and you can toggle the inside outside cuts by holding the shift key in.
    The mistake was mine in telling eveyone to reverse the faces of the inside cuts. You no longer need to do that as a mater of fact you really do not want to do that because it makes the gcode cut backwards and that will cause the rough edge on the wrong side of your part.

    So the new order of events is to leave everything blue side up (facing you if you are looking down on it, with the default texture) and all holes must be filled with a face blue side up as well.
    Then when you select inside cut the script will make the inside cut out area transparent so that it looks like a hole and it will add the inside cut line at the same time.
    Hope this helps and I hope to have a new video out soon.

    Excellent Mark Thank you for the quick response. That is really the only thing holding me up. I actually went for the fold button and that was a mistake. Going to try that right now. Waiting on the new video also. New script really is nice to work with. Tip of the ol' hat to Pete ;)
