About Boundary Overlap

When using slope confinement and/or rest machining for a Scallop operation, you can use the Machine areas using boundaries setting on the Geometry tab to start offsetting the toolpath from the boundaries created by the slope and/or rest material detection.

You can also specify a boundary overlap so the boundary of the detected slope range or rest area is extended by the specified overlap amount.



The Boundary Overlap setting

The following image shows a Scallop toolpath with a slope angle from 0 to 45 degrees:
