Hi,  

This is probably something really simple i am missing, but - how can i select a single face to mill?

I am milling this as a second op and just want to clear out stock on the highlighted taper in 1mm depth of cut passes with a HFM 

If i use adaptive clearing 3d then the toolpath goes around the complete part,  if i use 3d contour then the cutter tries to machine both sides of the selected face

Thanks

Selections and constraints. Can you share your file?

Hello,

 

I am having the same problem. In your video, you are able to select the lines. I am not able to. Why and how can I fix that?

 

Much appreciated.
