Michael, I've found this video here that shows how one does it for 3 axis. I could add it seems

I agree, it would be a different mindset. And there would have to be maybe dataDam components to control what GH definition shows when. I looked at Beaver a

Well, yes, the idea is that one does not have to spend $14,000 US to be able to generate simultaneous 5 axis G-code. That was the price for RhinoCam last I

Michael, I've taken a good look at GH this afternoon and especially how others used it to generate some toolpath with it, of course only 3 axis code at this

Michael, Assuming you'll try to translate at least the part of CNCToolkit that handle the geometric stuff then I'm skeptic that GH provide the low level math
