Hi Stefano,
Amazing job with this software. It's really great!
The only thing that I couldn't find how to do (I think it's not possible in the current version) is to have a way of positioining the part within the foam block for cuts...
What I mean is this: if I want to cut a taperer or non tapered wing for example, there's no option to tell the software to cut the part at a certain distance from the bottom or the front of the block (e.g. cut this wing profile at 50mm from the bottom, etc). This would be very handy for cutting slots in a more precise way.
I understand the same could be achieved by playing with the zero position of the CNC hotwire (i.e. outside the software) but it would be great if the softwared allowed for this.

Depending on the feature you are using, you have different way to place the parts in the foam block.
Anyway, for sure you need devWing Foam 2 and not devFoam Pro 2 to cut wings in a smart mode (I already suggested that before you purchased the license of devFoam Pro 2...)

Actually I just found out that the DevFoam Pro 2 actually supports what I wanted to do... (i.e. cutting a shape/slot, which could be a wing, a cockpit, a mount, etc... in a transversal manner).
This is possible using the Cut Part menu (which cuts non-tapered parts), and the text boxes for "Offset parts to cut"
In any case, I also could achieve the same outside the software by setting the 0 position in my CNC hotwire as needed
Thanks!
P.S. I do understand that DevWing is smarter and more specialised, just too prescriptive for my needs... I needed something that gives me flexibility and DevFoam Pro 2 was the answer
