If I choose "Tangent" the toolpath won't generate and it tells me to try one of the other two. But I get the same error when trying the other two extention types:

You need to not select the face and select around the edges to form the pocket outline, then it works. you would be better off using 3d Horizontal, which is basically multiple steps facing that uses the 3d model. Because it uses the model it will work out itself to overhang the edges to pick out the corner rads etc that won't be reachable with the 2d pocket outline.

2d pocket uses the selected pocket outline and doesn't really use the model (you could make it work but it would be way harder to get a good result). 

 

hope this helps
