3D relief, adding tabs, double-sided machining
I'm using Carveco Maker. Trying to machine a double-sided project that has a finish of .75". My first problem is I can't figure out how to add tabs to the model. 2nd problem, I can't seem to figure out how to only cut to half depth or so on the first side to avoid any issues of things coming loose. First day with the program coming from VCarve, so I'm admittedly lost.

Hi Christian Smith,
You can add bridges (otherwise referred to as tabs) when creating the following toolpaths within Carveco Maker: Profile, Bevel Carving, Female Inlay or Male Insert. Your supplied screenshot shows that you're creating a Machine Relief toolpath in your tele neck.art model file, and this explains why you aren't presented with the option to add bridges.
Please watch the following demonstration videos available from our Carveco Training portal:

Thanks for your time and consideration.
