Tutorial: Making Fascia Boards using Tool Paths
Place your board on your drawing.
Create Auxiliary Geometry on the board
Draw your compound curve using lines and arcs in the appropriate location
This geometry defines the path the tool will follow
Position these elements on the reference side of your beam
Call the Logic Block Function
Use 7-8-1 "Insert logic blocks at points, objects"
Select the logic block for "lines and arcs"
Set the reference side for the board - usually "left" works well.
Set the tool diameter
Set the tool depth
Select Points Along Your Geometry
Click on the points along your compound curve in sequence
By selecting the corresponding points, the processes are automatically created in the single beam info
The processes are combined into a group
You will be able to create a variety of fascia boards similar to the images below
