    The litho as it has been stated and I agree it is out standing.

    Where did you get the photo or picture of Jesus from ?

Normally, when a pattern is created, it has a length, width, depth, and a height which puts the highest point at the top of the board. There is no real number for this initial height, it is just 100% of what it is. If you change the height to 50, it will drop by 1/2.

    If a pattern's length or width is altered, the height is automatically also altered. For example, if one takes a pattern and scales the length and/or width down by 1/2, the height also drops to 1/2 of what it was. If you want to scale the top of the pattern back to where it was, you would have to change the height to 200. Also, if you change the depth of a pattern, the height also drops. For example, if you double the depth, you would have to change the height to 200 to get the pattern back up to the surface.

    The percentage one has to use to compensate for altering a pattern depends on how the pattern was altered and so, is not an absolute number. For lithos, the depth number, of course, is very important and a rule of thumb for depths makes sense. The height, on the other hand, is relative to the specific pattern and there cannot be a rule of thumb for that. It just needs to be adjusted so the pattern comes to the top. (You could always choose 999!)

    I hope this make sense.
    Dan. I was asking this question because I"m not grasping the concept If I made a bigger carve on on a project it distorts the height so if I make the depth .25. and the height at 999 do I get the best that I can out of that pattern ?

    If you make a carve bigger, the height will increase only until the top of the pattern gets to the board surface. In your case, the bow of the ship has reached 0.00 and so changing the height to anything higher would make no difference. It us already at the top. (In fact, your pattern has been scaled so much that a height of only 12 gets the bow to the surface.) The only way to get more out of the pattern is to make it deeper.

    I did the pattern at .5 deep and height at 999 would I harm the machine doing a carve that deep, I have always used the default at .25 It looks a lot better at .5 deep My project has been running all day it at 52 percent done would I be better to stop the project or to stop the project and tape over and start over again to save the wood, but I don't like doing again because of the tape gumming up the bit.

    There is nothing wrong with carving 1/2" deep. Since it is almost all deeper than what you are doing, you could just re-carve over what you have.

    Dan, I just looked at the project and it's at 70 percent done how do I go about starting the project to do the calibration to do the .5 carve ?
