Hello! You all were so helpful last time I figured I'd give this question a shot here since I cannot seem to find accessible internet resources...

I'm designing custom furniture from plywood on my ShopBot and I'm experimenting with different tolerances so I can get the "just right" fit. I need some help thinking through my designs from paper sketch, to 3D model (I'm using SketchUp) to vector image upon which I can lay my tool paths.

I'm comfortable creating designs that fit, albeit with not enough tolerance.

Does it make sense to build the tolerance into the 3D model, or is there a way to adjust his within VCarve?

I'm really just hoping to learn about various workflows so I don't have to just go trial and error.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Matt
