Tutorial 49 Finishing a generated path

1. Lesson Header

Lesson Number: 49
Level: Intermediate
Title: Finishing a generated path
Estimated Duration: 15 Minutes
Prerequisites: A G-code Sculptor (or Hex / Fabric / Node toolpath) that already previews.
What You Will Build: A bed array of a generated vase path, exported from Custom G-code, while the original module stays editable.

2. Concept Introduction (Why It Matters)

Parametric modules stay live. Finishing tools (array, brush, reorder) live on a copy. The toolbar </> button always creates a new Custom G-code module. The original profile or fabric job is never overwritten.

3. Steps

Design a vase (or any G-code module) and wait for preview.
Click </> in the toolbar. A new Custom G-code module opens with the compiled path. Use the module switcher (next to Printer Settings) to jump back to the original.
In Custom G-code, open the Array card. Set cols/rows and spacing, optionally M0 ; pause between copies, then Apply array.
Check the viewer. If a bed-fit warning appears, reduce spacing or count.
Export from the usual G-code download control. Profile still means G-code; Mesh Sculptor still means STL.

4. Recap

Copy-out, switch modules, array, export. Auto-update vase preview still runs on the original module without opening the editor.
