• 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

    No video. Since you have all the software, why not use WTP. Profiles in 3DDP can be directly imported into WTP. You have to have 3DDP and WTP up and running at the same time. =============== are you using windows 11? Would help to know in writing up some pointers for you.

    I would be interested in seeing pics of your jib and improvement you are making. Have been awhile since I have done multi gen cuts.

    Hi: There is nothing wrong with your SP. When I pulled up SP and go to profiles the following categories have no profiles. - misc. - platters - Tom Lohmans Designs Tom Lohman sells some SP designs. The folder under the category list would be where those profile/plans would be stored. The...

    Hello everyone

    Welcome to WTP forums. You took a class from one of the best. Lloyd's software makes it very easy to design a segmented vessel. I have found the WTP software to be very useful in the planning process. Enjoy getting into segmentation. It can be habit forming.

    Segeasy Plate

    You may have a defective plate. sorry can't be much help. I have not used a closed segment plate. The open segment plate seems to work ok.

    Segeasy Plate

    Did not realize you used the same segment for all the measurements. Just out of curiosity, if you took the segment and placed it in the slot, measured, then removed the segment and reinstalled it the same slot, would you get the same measurements? As another poster suggested, I would reach out...

    Segeasy Plate

    Thanks for posting the spreadsheet. imo, the variation in the segment position on the plate could be from slight variation in SEL between segments or slight variation in segment angle. How close are the SEL of each segment?

    Zero Segeasy Plates??

    Some of Tom Lohman vids shows him using his jig for closed segments. Bob's jig is similar except this indexing system is motorized and computer controlled. https://segmentedturning.org/segmented-woodturning-open-segmented-woodturning-tom-lohman/

    Confused

    I hope I can help you out to understand the number in the summary sheet. Length (column C) : Is the total board length you need to make the 11.9" ring with a little fudge factor for safety when cutting. For row 4 it is 32.1 inches for cutting 12 segments from the board When you have multiple...

    Question about WTP

    Asking questions is never a bother. As Lloyd pointed out board width and SEL are important in having rings come out with the dimensions we want. I personally tend to overboard by adding .125 to .25 to the OD and ID of the ring. It means turning more away on the lathe to desired...

    Question about WTP

    Hi Jim. Would you provide a bit more information. - How many segments per ring. - what did your summary sheet say the SEL was for the rings.

    Ring View

    Hi Dennis. In SP the ring view is used only for layout if you have "painted" a design. SP produces a pdf file. In the pop up window you add the name of the pdf file. The default location is on your C drive under My Segment Pro. If you have not painted a design you will get a message...

    Negative Rake Scraper

    I have not used a scraper in turning the inside of a open segment vessel. imo, you could use a negative rake scraper doing light cuts. Lloyd has pointed out that it is good to make sure the open rows you are turning are supported. That is the row is anchored on the top. This will reduce the...

    Cannot find profile/plan in SP after successful import

    Hi Quinn: First, thank you for posting the json file. It helps for others to see what you are dealing with. I downloaded and did a share/import and got this message. It looks like you saved your project profile and not the bowl plan. = make sure that when you complete a project...

    Hello

    Welcome to WTP forum. The forums are a good place to ask questions about the software or turning in general. If you have not taken a look at the tutorials, they answer a lot of questions about the software. One key when using SP is if you paint a design, do not change the number of segments...

    Hello

    Good choice to purchase the package. 3DDP is used to make the wall profile for use in WTP. WTP was Lloyd's first segment planner. It gives full control of each ring. SP is Lloyd's latest. It is more rules based and limits somewhat what you can do with each rings. Has an excellent paint...

    Hello

    Welcome to WTP forum. You might find as many of us have that segment vessel making is addictive. Especially when the software makes the designing process a breeze. Nice tornado bowls. I take it you purchased SP or did you buy the complete package of WTP, SP, LP and 3DPP?
