    <description>&lt;P&gt;I would not recommend using a Parallel toolpath to finish the entire part, it's not going to be efficient or produce an ideal finish. I would use a mix of toolpaths to accomplish this, such as Scallop and Flow:&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have this part that needs to have a very good finish on the inside. Was just curious as to if I am using the best strategies to achieve this. My first thoughts was to use a ramp tool path to finish the inside radius followed by a parallel strategy to finish the floor and top radius. Will I be better off with a parallel path to finish all of the inside like the last toolpath in the file? Would this get me a better consistent finish across the part or is my initial paths a better option?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks in advance&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Geodesic also makes a really nice toolpath, and it's almost 25% the code size of Scallop:&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the help. How are you getting much smaller code using geodesic? my code is much larger with the same smoothing and stepover figures in the scallop.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Actually, the Smoothing in Geodesic doesn't reduce code size in many cases, it creates an "even point distribution". Turn off Smoothing and watch your code size plummet&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you soo much for the help. Code size was heavily reduced and have produced a half decent part! Last question, is there a way to smooth out the code even more? Have a very nice finish in the "x axis" but y not great with a fait amount of "gouging". Have played around with the tolerance but doesn't seem to make a huge difference.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Well, that's less than desired. What is your machine and controller?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Another option would be to use a Blend toolpath for the bottom face, that toolpath produces just a bit more code than the Geodesic toolpath and virtually no points in the cutting motion:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="2023-12-28_09h55_44.png" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1308461i2C7C4D6ED709D298/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="2023-12-28_09h55_44.png" alt="2023-12-28_09h55_44.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Sorry to pick this up again. I have a few variants of these to do and looking to get the right strategy to allow minimal polishing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I seem to be getting the best results using a parallel path but comes out looking like multiple lines making up the arc and not a smooth arc, as per pictures. Could it be the model is made up of multiple lines and not a true radius? Drawing states a R405.8. If this is the case is there any way to "smooth" the model?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for all the help so far.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Without seeing the file with that parallel toolpath it's hard to guess but if your tolerance value is too large you will see faceting like that.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="alaasW8M6T_0-1706902475252.png" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1321679i2C8FBA4C78871007/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="alaasW8M6T_0-1706902475252.png" alt="alaasW8M6T_0-1706902475252.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0.01 is standard and should provide good results, you can try going to 0.005mm but another trick i like to try out is to right click on the toolpath and select compare and edit.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;then find the value for "Surface triangulation tolerance"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Change that form "tolerance*0.5" to "tolerance*0.05"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="alaasW8M6T_1-1706902656905.png" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1321680iF83728DC5E1E6F66/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="alaasW8M6T_1-1706902656905.png" alt="alaasW8M6T_1-1706902656905.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;might help&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also make sure you have smoothing turned on in the post properties, this will activate CYCLE 32 in the controller which will make it run better than with it off.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="alaasW8M6T_2-1706902838847.png" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1321681iEFA970E5C06B628F/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="alaasW8M6T_2-1706902838847.png" alt="alaasW8M6T_2-1706902838847.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wouldn't use the 0.1 value though on the standard Heidenhain post, I have modified mine to output different values depending on the operation tolerance and whether its roughing or not.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Heidenhain recommend 1.3*tolerance for the optimum values for CYCLE 32 (that's the tolerance value in the operation)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for the help. I have posted the file. I had my tolerance set to 0.06, will try dropping to 0.005 on next run. Would you also use smoothing tolerance on this? Having looked at the&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;Surface triangulation tolerance it was set at 0.03mm. what affects this figure or is it a manual change? My cycle32 was set at .1mm and "finishing", could it be that the tolerance was set too high on this causing issues as well?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Appreciate all the help.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yea 0.06mm is too high for a finishing path and is likely what is causing the faceting.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The surface triangulation tolerance is by default tolerance*0.5 which is why it was at 0.03.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would start by reducing the tolerance to 0.01 and see how you get on, it should be much better.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Your cycle 32 tolerance should be 1.3*0.01=0.013&lt;/P&gt;</description>
