    <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a hunch that multi-axis contour with an offset sketch projected onto the surface might work but I'm having a lot of troubles getting a uniform sketch that follows the wall and lays on the curved surface.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Think this might be worth pursuing or a fools errand?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey everyone,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I've been struggling to get a usable toolpath with fusions' 5-axis/ multi-axis options. I've attached a part file and screenshot to make things easier to understand. Its a section from the full part but the area in question is colored green.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My goal is to have a 0.06 bull endmill walk around edge while maintaining perpendicularity with the bottom surface to finish both the walls, bottom, and create that 0.06 fillet in the bottom. I have tried flow, swarf, multi-axis contour, as well as 3d contour with multi-axis tilt but unfortunately haven't been able to get anything close with anything but flow. However the flow toolpath has a bunch of its own problems that I cannot seem to fix. They are:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;toolpath won't extend to the walls (tried deleting bottom fillets but nothing changed)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;stepovers don't match the number specified (in screenshot 2 shown, 5 specified)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;one of the surfaces has waaaay too many point which causes machine jitters and smoothing doesn't help until its past the allowable deviation.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;flow doesn't seem like the right operation for doing the finish profile, still need to figure out how to do that.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyone got some suggestions?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I greatly appreciate any and all ideas on this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;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-center" image-alt="5axis_part.jpg" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/534176i5D8630DFED58231F/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="5axis_part.jpg" alt="5axis_part.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
