I have created a pattern manually in my design and clipped it so it fits inside the bottom of this stocking (i.e. I did not create a pattern and apply to the area as a pattern, as I know patterns are problematic in laser engraving software such as Beam Studio).
When I import into Beam Studio, it shows a layer called G6 which is the pattern design, even though it is turned off in the imported SVG. When I turn this off in Beam Studio however, there is no clipped section inside the stocking. Not sure what I am doing wrong here? I have made a short video showing what is happening, and have attached the file.
I did a cleaning up; mostly get rid of deep stacked clip groups. I duplicate the outline of the stocking - convert with Stroke to Path and deleted the outer path. After finding the pattern path I selected both and went Path->Intersection. Hope this will work well:
I wonder if the Bspline path effect remaining for path6 and path76 in Top(Std) group will lead to problems.
If it does, select path6 and do path>object to path or click on flatten arrow next to thrashcan icon in LPE panel and choose flatten). Repeat for path76
@Polygon : don't mind ☺ I was refering to your file, despite you did a great job, simplifying all this intricated clipped groups, paths, flattening so many LPE, there remains 2 (this could lead to issues with another software, I guess.
@Polygon , thanks so much, you are awesome :) I need to go back and practice one on my own to see if I can retrace your steps. Not sure how I made the file into such a mess :( Really appreciate your help.
I have imported your file into Beam Studio and for some reason it is not working. It shows the stocking with pattern for a split second and then just leaves a series of incomplete paths. I note also the pattern intersection in the SVG is not importing into Beam Studio, as shown in the layers panel.

Fine job, Polygon

I forgot to mention; I already converted in the above attachment as I don´t see any good use in this case.

Appreciate any thoughts

Thanks @David258, appreciate your thoughts and suggestions :)
Probably the 2 left B-Splines are the issue.
