7.6.3 Distance
Whether you have more or less points depends on the Cut tolerance. You have more points on
round surfaces because the tool path always changes direction. Use the Distance option to get more
points on flat surfaces. Although the Cut tolerance is the same you get more points on straight or flat
surfaces. Setting a small value gives more points whereas a high value gives fewer points.
