Cut3D will let you rotate the piece (Step one, "Rotate 90" button) and choose the origin point (Step two, "XY Origin Position" select). If your piece is longer than the bed of your machine, Cut3D doesn't having tiling so that will pose a problem. VCarve and Aspire would allow you to tile the project if you have either of those.

I tried the tiling mode, but it will not work.Is there a way to turn the XandY axes in v carve 8,5 to cut 3d, so that the starting point is on the lower left? In design and make getting started vidoes they show a wilderness hack 6 foot by 10" mantel useing v carve 8.5, but they do not show how it was cut out. Thanks for any info. gene

You can still rotate your piece in VCarve, then you tile the 3D toolpath. All Vectric projects allow you to select the point of origin (any corner or the center).

Check out the tiling video if you haven't already: http://support.vectric.com/tut-aspire-2d-25d-techniques

You can try this:

It works for me, your results may vary.
