      <description>&lt;P&gt;I need some help for the attached test part. The problem is I can´ t figure out why two surfaces are not machined at all.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've tried different strategies but z-level finish is the only one that can handle undercuts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any help would be great, thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4310109"&gt;@Mueller-CNC&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;First, Z level isn't the only strategy that can handle undercuts.&amp;nbsp; It may be the only strategy that has that checkbox.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately, Z level does not machine shallow surfaces because it slices the model in Z increments.&amp;nbsp; Great for steep regions.&amp;nbsp; You can turn on Optimize for that issue, but not with undercuts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I suggest you use Flowline.&amp;nbsp; You do need to construct a surface for FeatureCAM to work from.&amp;nbsp; This surface is a reference surface.....not a machinable surface.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Take a look at the attached modified FM file.&amp;nbsp; If you need more guidance on how I achieved these results, let me know.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Thank you very much for your help.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;The result is okay so far. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;I have to say I´ve tried flowline before posting this topic here but I got a different result. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Lots of unnecessary tool paths and something like that.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;So after looking into your strategy I saw you´ve selected all the surfaces of the solid. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;I´ve selected only the surfaces I wanted to finish. This thing makes it all different from yours.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Do you select all the surfaces for flowline in general? This info could be very useful haha.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Greetings&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
