Exercise 2c

Create a no-op tool path planner that simply does not return any tool paths. This capability will be useful for more quickly testing mesh modifiers. Once complete, tune your cylinder extraction mesh modifier while using this no-op tool path planner. When the tuning is done, put all of the pieces together to produce a camera inspection tool path for this cylindrical component. The results should look like the images below:
