SLIP DreamMaker Help

This alpha build is bare basics for the moment


About
Why use CNCDreamer? CNC Dreamer is not a complicated piece of software. It is simplistic by nature desighned to efficiently and as quickly as possible bring your dreams to life. Unlinke CAD software CNCDreamer has a very low learning curve with only the tools you need.

CNCDreamer v 1.0 software is desighned to work with G-code and Grbl controller software V3.61 for CNC machinines and 3d printers.
CNCDreamer can load,position,rotate, scale,copy and paste multiple 3d models or 2d images with the ability for user defined depths for extruding 2d images into 3d g-code.3d images can be broken into segements and heights set manually for2d to 3d conversion.
CNCDreamer can also import g-code files and build a digital reconstruction of what the item should look like for testing or prefabrication.Also suser may draw custom desighns straight to G-code.CNC

Getting started:

Loading files:
    At the top right navigation pane there are two browse buttons. One button is for images and one browse button is for models. Image supported types are,(Jpg),(.Png) and (.Bmp) 3d models supported. (.Obj), (.x), (.3ds) working on a cad importer sorry.

Loading Images:
Computers are stupid so when selecting a 3d image is nessisary to use a black background that will be trasnparent to the program anything not black will be calculated and become part of the build. The depth of the build can be set manually for a lathe or 3d printer.
Heightmaps: Grayscale heightmaps are supported for automated depths during build.

Loading Models:
Not yet available.
When loading 3d models there will be a momentary delay when Dreamaker attempts to automatically adjust the model to fit within the build area. If you do not see your model immediatly after, there may be a problem with your model or it had a absurdly small or large scaling that the program could not automatically adjust for. If this is the case select the object menu at the bottom of the screen highlight the object and to the right a manual size can be entered. Each model can indevidually be set to wireframe solid or opaque or transparent. transparent items will still be in the build so do not forget them.

2d drawing:
CNCDreamer allows a user to paint on an image using multiple shades allowing each shade to represent a user set height.The image can be exported at G-code as is or alternatively the grid conversion tool can be utilized.

2D Grid conversion:
2d grid conversion takes a 2d image either uploaded or drawn and segments the image. The user can then set each tiles indevidual height creating a 3d object from a 2d surface.

G-code scaling:
Not all CNC machine or 3d printers are build equally. CNCDreamer allows the user to specify a multiplier for each axis in the event your machine has differnt axis's geared differently. The 10x10 grid can be subdevided into smaller quads for more precise milling or prininting from the quad box on the bottom bar.0.01 though 100 step size. Troubleshooting. Models:
