Every operation on the 3D model is interactive — hover it for details, open it in a separate window, or edit it.
Hover tooltip
Matches the content of the 2D drawing labels: operation type, side, for milling — which side of the toolpath has the compensation, for a pocket — its shape (rectangular, rounded, circular), for a groove — whether it's open or closed, the material and edge-banding parameters (band letter, width, thickness, name), coordinates, diameter or width/length/radius, depth or a "through" mark, tool data.
If operations visually overlap (e.g., a pocket and a couple of milling cuts meet at a corner of the part), the tooltip is shown only for the most "specific" one under the cursor — so it doesn't turn into an unreadable wall of several tooltips at once.
Double-clicking an operation opens it for editing right away.
Operations menu
The list of operations is grouped by type (drilling — additionally by side and diameter), with a filter. Hovering a row in the list highlights the operation in red in the 3D scene and dims the rest; clicking pins the highlight — several operations can be pinned at once. Each row has extra buttons:
- Play trajectory (milling only, with defined path points) — a marker runs along the toolpath in a loop.
- Milling contour — a separate window with an interactive scrub along the trajectory (mouse or finger), synced with the 3D view, showing the tool footprint and rapid moves between contour segments.
- Operation drawing (drilling, grooves, and pockets only) — a separate window with three projections following drafting conventions, dimensions, material hatching, and a title block.
- Edit — opens the operation form.
On tablets and phones, instead of hovering, a panel with buttons for switching between operations appears at the bottom.
How different machining looks on the model
- Edge banding — a separate band along the machined side. If the band color isn't explicitly set on the material, the band is highlighted by thickness for quick visual assessment: up to 0.6 mm — blue, up to 1.6 mm — green, thicker — red.
- An open groove reaching the edge of the part cuts straight through the edge band — a gap is visible. A closed groove doesn't touch the band — it visually covers the groove's end.
- Splicing strips (for worktops made up by thickness) — the back side is assembled from separate rectangular strips using one of several layout schemes. The strips are colored noticeably darker than the main body, and the seams between them are shown as separate contrasting lines — you see each strip and the joint between them, not a solid sheet.
- Postforming — the edge is rounded at both ends with a radius equal to half the part's thickness; there's no separate edge band on that side — the end is either colored like the neighboring side's band or the base cut color.
- End cut (chamfer/bevel) — shown as an inclined plane at the required angle; if the cut has its own edge band assigned, its band is drawn on the inclined face too.
- A pocket is always shown with rounded corners; a through pocket cuts the part all the way through, a blind one is a recess whose bottom is colored to match the assigned edge band, if any.
Besides the hover tooltips, operations are always faintly highlighted over the part's body (visible even through opaque areas): face and end-face machining — dark, back-side machining — orange.
