Tumbling Blocks, Wave Bands, Topographic, Halftone, Pyramids and Interference textures carved with a 60° V-bit

V-Bit Textures

Pocket textures can now be carved with a V-bit. A V-bit cuts as wide as it cuts deep, so a texture that changes depth changes the width of its lines too. Grooves swell and taper, dots grow and shrink, and pyramids come out with crisp, flat facets that a ballnose can't cut. Nineteen new patterns are built to show it off.

The collapsed workpiece settings toolbar above the 3D preview, with a color band under each bit

Workpiece Settings Updates

Your material, work zero, and bits now fit on a single slim line above the 3D preview, and every bit is color-coded by the pass it carves, the same colors the toolpath legend uses. The carve walkthrough picks up those colors too, so you can match the bit in your machine to the pass you're about to run at a glance.
