I am using 2D Adaptive to face the remaining material from these two parts. I have selected the two dark grey faces as the pocket selections then selected the two light grey contours as the stock contours. After generating the path it runs two times instead of one. I have attached the file if someone wants to take a look. Thanks

It is what you selected for the toolpath doing it why I would not have a clue.
I need to mill outside-inside, anything else causing the corners to chip.
You can select the toolpath as the stock contours and the stock contours as the pocket selection, I used a sketch for the pocket selection this works with or without the manufacturing model.
@seth.madore can you have a look at this please I think the problem is in the manufacturing model I can not find why it is doing the double toolpath Thank You.
It will do for now, at least it cuts down on the cutting time. I will wait until Seth chimes in before accepting it as a solution though. I hope that is ok?
That's fine it is not solved just worked around.
Just selecting the top of each rectangle works, no stock contours. You already have the bottom height set to model top so the toolpath cuts at that level.

The problem seems to be related to having 2 pocket selections and 2 stock contours. If I only select one pocket I only get one pass but both stock areas are cleared.

I will go with this for now, Daniel solved it by creating a sketch for the stock, although this got a descent result there were a couple unneeded cuts and the sketch of course. This way seems this the end result is what it should be, although not the selection process one would think. I will mark this solved because it does give a working solution.
