Is there a minimum version of ModelWorks I should be using when processing JewelCAD slice (SLC) files?
Yes, JewelCAD users should be using ModelWorks 4.1 or higher. If you are using an earlier version, call technical support for an update. • Q: Why can’t I scale a JewelCAD slice file in ModelWorks? A: Solidscape systems only build models at layers with preset thickness. When you create a slice (SLC) file in JewelCAD, you already have set the layer thickness you want the model to be sliced. If you scale the model in ModelWorks, you will also change the layer thickness, and ModelWorks will be unable to process that data. If you need to scale a model to offset metal shrinkage, then scale the model in JewelCAD before you cut it into slices. • Q: I keep getting an error that says something about “Mismatches.” What’s going on? A: When you try to make a 3D object out of two or more 2D objects, the 2D objects must have the same number of Control Vertices (CVs). If you try to make an object by lofting a triangle with a square, you will get a mismatch error. The triangle has six CVs (two CVs per
