Questions about lathe turning software

I am learning this software. I am rough turning the OD profile of a part. I want to turn past the length of the part to remove material for a part off process. The rough turn tool path dives into the material diameter in the x axis after the tool path clears the part length. I tried using groove suppression but it did not work. Please help.

Go to your "Passes" tab and set the "Grooving" to "Don`t allow grooving" and the Profile will not "dive down" between the end of the part and the Back offset position, see image below.
