Profile Finishing lathe pass, vertical / inside to outside, HOW?

[siraig]

So I figured out how to use a boring bar in the profile roughing pass to rough out a large bore from inside to outside selecting the "vertical" option under passes... but this does not exsist on the profile finishing pass.  What am I missing here?

Edited to add pics, can drop file if needed as well.  I tried selecting "back to front" and it will not generate.  Is this due to trying to cut to centerline?

@siraig You can choose either back to front or front to back and it should change the direction accordingly.

@siraig If you can attach the file I can take a look.

Thanks,

Excuse my lack of knowledge in the lathe work, it isnt necessarily pretty!  File is attached - I am re-thinking my strategy here regardless of the fact I cannot get this to generate.  But learning how to do this properly would be beneficial regardless.  Apprecaite the help.   T9 finishing op is what I am refering to.

I turned on radial grooving and it worked.
