Building a Template of an existing part from scratch in LightBurn

In this video I take you from start to finish of re designing a customers grill off of a quad racing bike. We fist start by tracing the existing part and do some node editing to dial in so the new part matches the old part. This idea is once we get the parameters dialed in and mounting holes we can drop in what ever design the customer requests. This video is long but I didn’t want to skip any critical steps.
