2D Contour Wrap Not Following Full Contour

I'm trying to create a 2D contour wrap toolpath to simulate the Gcode needed for a rotary plasma cutter given that Fusion doesn't support that in the plasma tool paths. 

 

I've created a 60deg cope as a test piece and a 1.5mm end mill to simulate the kerf of the plasma. When trying to get the tool paths to work I get some strange outputs where it is providing somewhat of a rotary tool path, but is only really half of the mirrored contour. 


I've tried selecting inner and outer contours, inner and outer faces with the same result - trying to select unwrap geometry gives me the "Contour Selection: Cannot unwrap cyclic geometry." error. 

 

This seems like a pretty basic contour toolpath for a 4th axis but I'm stuck as to what I'm doing wrong.
