3D Adaptive is producing small, uneccesary step ups on vertical surfaces
The features above the first full step down in this image are completely vertical, but 3D adaptive is producing these small step ups. What's causing this?

it does to that sometimes, you can try reducing the tolerance in the passes tab, also sometimes turning off flat area detection can fix it.
seeing as it looks like you have no real "3D" geometry on that part from what I can see(from that orientation anyway), just vertical walls, making the fine stepdown the same as the maximum roughing stepdown will definitely cure it haha.

Besides from what's been mentioned, try tightening up the tolerance. If they still persist, could you share your file here?
