Therefore I make sure that node 1 is somewhere in the lower left corner, so my machine can reach it, without having to cut across any of the shape I am trying to create.Īnother real world issue is how the foam is being held for cutting.
So if node 1 were on batmans head (see picture below), then my machine would cut a starting line from the lower left corner to batmans head, pretty much ruining the piece by cutting it in half at the start.
The styrofoam is physically held on the top edge of this picture. Imagine a node 0 at the lower left corner. My hotwire cutter physically starts in the lower left corner of the picture above. The node numbering and direction is important for the eventual physical cutting of a shape on a machine. The initial node numbering and path/shape direction is most likely random. To undo the node numbering, select "Edit" and "Undo".
