• Having problems with video with Segment PRO on a new PC? You could be experiencing one (or both) of two problems. First, if you have an ultra high-resolution screen, the recommended settings might be higher than 1920 x 1080 with a scale factor of more than 100% and the user interfaces for all software written in c# will NOT be correct. Simply change the resolution and scaling to 1920 x 1080 and scale to 100%. Second, if you have a wonky Bowl View, you have an Intel Iris graphics solution and there are serious problems with it. Solution - go to the Drivers page at Intel's website and install their latest driver for your computer. This will fix it. Link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download-center/home.html

I just started making segmented vessels and find it fascinating. I needed some type of computer-generated software to help me design the projects I want to make. Woodturner Pro/Seg Pro. and Lamination Pro were the answer. I tried making designs on graph paper but they just didn't look right and I used a segment calculator downloaded from the Internet but I still had difficulties. Now I can plan my designs and actually "cut" and see my creation.

I'm retired civil servant, 35 years as a Consumer Safety Inspector with USDA.

I'm enjoying my "golden" years.

Welcome to WTP Forums.
Like you I find Lloyd's software to be an excellent tool for designing segmented vessels. Easy to make changes and let the software do the calculations.

Things to keep in mind when using SP.
- Decide on how many segments per ring you want. If you start painting a design and decide to change the number of segments the counter gets messed up. The cut list will not be accurate.
-SP is rules based and in its current form limits what you can do with individual ring

WTP gives you full control over each ring.

have fun. Ask questions and take advantage of the gallery and share some of your projects.

Okay, I've noticed that modifying rings in Seg Pro is difficult but in WTP you can make your rings anything you want. Lamination pro is pretty straight forward and the only problem I see is regluing the parts to make your design. Lamination Pro provides instructions on how to cut your design and arrange the pieces. That for me is great! I've used all the software purchased, WTP, Seg Pro, and Lamination Pro.

How do I post a picture of a project?
Click to expand...
If you have an image in a format like jpeg you can use the Insert Image. (Ctrl+P)
That will bring up a pop up window. click on the drop image or click here.
That will bring up Windows File explorer. Navigate to where you have the image file.
Select the image file.
It should make a copy and post it in the post box you are using.
