Face groove properties:
- They can be of any shape and can even intersect with itself.
- Regular grooves can be cut to any width using multiple passes.
- If the groove is Simple, the curve can be 3D.
Face grooves can be:
Regular Face grooves — These can have a Width, Depth, Bottom Radius, and Chamfer.

Simple face grooves are cut with one horizontal pass, with a tool, whose diameter matches the groove's width. For one-pass engraving, select a Simple groove; this performs a single manufacturing pass along the curve.
