The toolpath can be defined with specific parameters such as:

Step between passes.

Additional pass on the upper or lower level.

Top and bottom levels.

The operation can also generate rough passes and has two strategies for doing so.

Equdistant and Adaptive.

The roughing toolpath can be defined by specific parameters:

Step of roughing passes and number of steps for equidistant strategy.

And two sorting types by layers and by cavities.

The adaptive strategy has the same parameters as the Waterline roughing operation.
