margins you want around the model.
So choose Manual, input 5 mm for
a margin around the cutting of the

Preview - This displays the cutting-depth locations.
It lets you check the depths to which the model is cut. You can
also rotate, move, or zoom the view, or t it to the screen. *
Top/Bottom, Front/Back allows you to choose the surface whose
cutting depth you want to set. Change the depth by dragging the
red line down all the way to the bottom.
Or you can set the cutting depth by inputing a value for Top
Depth. You can make the setting for Front/Back when you are
performing four-surface cutting.
Tap on the Slope tag now.

blade, the tool does not reach bottom.
Adding slope to the walls enables approach by the tool. So check
