Swarf toolpath tool lifted warning

I am trying to generate a swarf toolpath to clear and finish an angled face on my part.  The geometry is very simple, so I did not think I would have any issues with this approach.  However, every time I generate, Fusion is automatically lifting the bottom of my tool to about the middle of the face I am machining.  I have included an image of the incorrect toolpath and the warning message below.  I have tried adjusting all the parameters I can think to adjust, but nothing is getting rid of the automatic lift.  Images of all my parameters are also shown below.  I suspet it has something to do with linking, but am not positive.  If I cannot figure it out, I plan to tell my machine that the tool is shorter than it is so that it actually cuts down far enough, which obviously is sub-optimal.  Thanks for any advice anyone can give on this.

Hi @sean,

 

The warning you get is that the toolpath isn't milling this whole negative angle face because you limited on the Heights tab the Bottom Height to Model Bottom.

Increase the Bottom Offset with a - value that is big enough to go down the part and mill this whole face.

Then the warning is also gone.
