How to use 3D offset finishing on multi axis with multiple surfaces ?

Hi , im using this model right here with the boundary as you can see using "3D offset finishing" toolpath but it seems like powermill somehow reads boundary as  a two dimensional curve rather than a 3d boundary , im so confused right now .

Is this because the model has undercut if you view from +z-axis, and the offset finishing strategy cannot machine it?

exactly , if i see the model from z+ axis the boundary looks working in that way , one alternative approach was to rotate the workplane around X axis to math tha z axis with boundary definition but it didn't gave me accurate result also needs extra work , i didn't get under cut meaning tho is that means the model is unsewed or open ? cause the model is solid and no gaps in it .

undercut means part of model is hidden by other part and cannot be seen if you view from the top.

 3d offset finishing only projects the way the work plane is orientated,  try surface projection finishing or alter your work plane so there are no undercuts.

You could also use a line projection toolpath and trim back what you don't need.
