concave oval region

[myshop1044]

I want to make oval region .5" deep with a concave surface, How do you do this? Any help would be great.

Draw your Oval - select carve region set depth .5 select serfice - select double down . this should get you close.

select oval and make the size you want,select --carve region--icon that looks like a piece of wood with the center hollowed out,create depth,over to the right in depth box. 0.250 is default. Then select the icon right next to carve region,--select surface-- there will be 2 chices but right above is a little box to click on which gives more choices. You can pick domes, right, left middle etc, and then choose icon --invert --to make it concave.
I just did an oval about 8x 10 with all this, but it wasn't enough of a concave . There was only about a 1/16" difference from the middle to the edge of the oval.

I'm sure someone else knows a hole lot more than I do about this , but thats what Icame up with for now.

Thanks very much gentlemens, all responces three worked very well.
3D the freebee did the job thanks again. This will be going on a sample of rasie panel door samples for the local lumber yard.
I will post some pics later when I finish ,along with the drawer fronts to go with the door samples.

One thing I have found out with this kind of products is
"carve it and they will come"

Hello Daniel,

Don't neglect the "Height" setting. You can adjust the concave/convex surface "intensity" amount just by typing in new values from 0 to 999.

Thanks Michael I'll try that.
