Rotary contour Tabs

[office5JWMW]

Hi There !

I wonder if there is any easy way to add tabs (that hold the cut-out part in place during operation and beeing removed in postproduction) to a rotary contour operation, just like in 2d operations? They´re normally in the geometry tab, but i can´t find the option - has anyone had a similar need yet? How did you solve it?

 
You can see the big cutout - here i would need some tabs.

Thanks in advance

Tabs are not an option in the 3D toolpaths, sorry. This is something that's been requested over the years, but not something we've spent resources on.

The only solution I'm coming up with at the moment is to physically model those bodies (the tabs) and select them in the toolpath.
