About This Version

Version 1.3.0, 12/5/2025
1.3 – November 10, 2026 Tool drop down is broken; it’s a Fusion API bug. Work around it for now. 1.2 – October 27, 2025 Bug Fix: Selecting an entire sketch will now “do the right thing” of selecting every other sketch Bug Fix: You can now do inlays-in-inlays; previously it would’t work quite right if the target would generate holes. Bug Fix: tapered ball nose error that was coming up: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *=: ‘FloatParameterValue’ and ‘float’ Bug Fix: The plugin should work a lot better on more abstract angles (ie: bottom, sides, odd angle planes, etc), as it was incorrectly using some values hardcoded for the z-plane Bug Fix: Not using “Create New Component” would not generate a correct plug 1.1 – October 22, 2025 Fixed “not a planar entity” error if the original sketch was another sketch Project the plug via the plug profile instead of the plug body, which should fix some cases where the machining limits was inset incorrectly (instead of being outset) Give better errors on SketchText entities that fail (Fusion bugs) Allow tapered ball nose in the tool lists shown Fixed some inlay within inlay issues 1.0 – October 17, 2025 Initial Release

  • 10/10 VCarve Inlay Generator
    Jack Yost | December 15, 2025

    This plugin works great. Generating the main body and plug for a v-carve isn't all that hard to do, but it is time consuming and requires a decent amount of fiddling. This plugin takes all that fiddling out of the equation. You should do the test cutting procedure to figure out the correct "inlay_fit_adjustment" parameter value for your cutting tools and your machine.

    Overall, it's a great plugin. Be sure to check out Corbin's youtube channel for very detailed (three 30+ minute) videos on using the plugin if you get stuck. Thank you Corbin for all you give to the community.
