Depending on the topology of the feature(s) you may need to extract
wireframe. It just depends. I'd have to see it do determine what's
necessary.

Often times I find that a little training goes a LOOOOOOOONG way with
Mastercam, or any other relatively involved piece of software. That's
not to say people can;t figure out things for themselves because
people do every day, but taking a class to learn the basics helps. As
a matter of fact, I sat in on a class a while back and I have well
over a decade of experience with it and was able to pick up some cool
things, shortcuts and tips. Definitely worth the time investment
IMHO.

Changing depths... :headscratch: Ummmmmmm.... if you select your chain
that is modeled in the correct location relative to the other
features, select the top of the stock and have depth cuts selected, it
should do what's necessary to cut multiple depths... again I'd have to
see what we're talking about to make an educated evaluation.
