Milling one filet corner only

I'd like to machine just one of the corner of a plate where I have put a filet without doing a full 2D contour but I can't figure it out (2D contour would work but go around the part for no good reason).

So what tool path do i need to use to machine just that corner ?

This is on a Shapeoko Pro CNC so the machine can do it but apparently I can't 😅

2D adaptive doesn't generate any tool path if I select just the corner face (or edges), 2D contour only allows me to select the whole contour and not just the corner... 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

To only select the actual fillet just hold down the Alt key and click on the edge of the fillet, see image below and attached example file, is this what you want?  🙂

Ah that was the secret, (on macOS it's the option key but yes that worked).

Thanks a lot.

You can also double click on the contour to toggle between choosing a contour chain or single contour segment
