Simulating multiple toolpaths

- So we did a lot of piece mill simulation throughout this process. But it's still a good idea to do a couple more overall simulations to see how all of our toolpaths are interacting with one another. We're also complicating matters by the fact that we've got these two flipped sets of toolpaths kind of occupying the same space. So if we're not careful the machine's going to try and visualize both of those toolpaths right on top of one another. So here's where we left off with the backside or rather the Flipside. I'll do a quick simulation here. By right clicking the Flipside folder and hitting Simulate. And this one of the ways that I can check, for example, if I like the refinement of my stepover. So again, if in the Simulate tab I go to the Preferences you'll note, that in my version of Rhino I'm unable to select Polygonal Model. So that means that we're going to get only a so-so visualization of our cut. But if I hide my toolpaths by clicking this button I can kind of get a sense…
