There is an intersect all app that you can use. Should be released as well.

Unfortunately I have no reference for bits to use.
Because, to be perfectly honest… I haven’t actually carved anything with the app yet. 
I guess I have more fun coding some of these apps than using them!
I am using a few ball nose bits, they work quite well actually
Yes, I did not look hard enough…user error!!
I figured out how to carve something quite complex, very much trial and error. I am useless at taking notes… How would I look at the super gradient result I am happy with and see the configuration / settings.

Errm… Kinda hard to do without having saved your initial settings. I mean if you have the initial shape and the final result, you could always count the layers to get the number of steps and then look at the boundary box change between each to get the height change. Getting the curve would be more difficult as that is based on the height of each layer. Mind sharing?
I think I get you

I am making this in two halves for a client…

Also like the video and leave me a comment!
I do crank up the steps to 100 each time to save myself time sanding, but it does take up to 5 minutes for the tool paths to get generated with that many steps. Still works though.
You can try to offset your shape to the desired size and then use the gradient app between both shapes to get the desired result.
So you just need to switch the start and end depth. Not sure if the image will upload but I made these mlok handgrips using this app. Worked like a charm.

So I have been working on a project to create an award plaque and I want a nice curved edge. So I created 2 rectangles to create the border that I would want and selected both to create the gradient between them. I used a curve that I had picked out that looked good but the as the preview came up I saw that there was an issue. The top left and bottom right corners had been flattened out. I played with a couple of settings but nothing seemed to fix the issue. If anyone has any ideas it would be a big help

Increase the “resolution” setting from 100 to 1000. The resolution is the number of points the path is split into. By increasing this number it increases the number of divisions in the path.

Ok, Thank you.
