      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a disk with a cutout.&amp;nbsp; I want to face the surface of the disk, but restrict the machining area so the bit does not pass over the cutout.&amp;nbsp; With other toolpaths, I can select the machining boundary using a Sketch selection, but that doesn't seem to work for the Face toolpath.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Under &lt;EM&gt;Face: Stock Contours&lt;/EM&gt;, the pop-up info says I can &lt;EM&gt;select any size or shape area to Face&lt;/EM&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But I must be missing the trick.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any suggestions?&amp;nbsp; Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="1_cutout.JPG" style="width: 756px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/997902i8FA4505538578298/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="1_cutout.JPG" alt="1_cutout.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the response.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; That's a good idea.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The paralell toolpath does avoid that area while cutting, but the toolpath still passes over the cutout, which I want to avoid.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="2_cutout.JPG" style="width: 497px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/997920i78E13354D271F2A1/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="2_cutout.JPG" alt="2_cutout.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the actual design, there is a block taller than the disk occupying the cutout space.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Originally I defined the stock to include that block, but the Face operation still passed though the space of the block.&amp;nbsp; That stumped me.&amp;nbsp; I tried removing the block and replacing it with a cutout just to simplify the problem while I looked for a solution.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, that's where Avoid surface comes in, it's in the geometry tab in the Parallel toolpath. Or you could put the block back in I think that would work with parallel.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Thanks, engineguy! Yes, I think your approach will work. I just started out trying to make the 2D Face toolpath work, since this really is a facing operation. And then I just tumbled down the rabbit hole in trying to find a solution. I hadn't even considered other toolpaths. Thanks!</description>
