Most profiles have built in, by default a facing finish, that forces the facing tool to always make two facing passes, similar to the below patern: This repeated movement is often not needed for straight tool paths or with a low depth. For this reason the option, located on the machining tab, under the path …

Lower limit of front groove
Several profiles, especially on small cross sections, have by default a radius between 0.2 and 0.5mm on the front groove. Those grooves require then a tool with R0.2mm. If you do not have such a tool, you can force the software to generate the profile with a larger radius (0.4mm). This option should be used …
Approximation movement
The standard, first movement, for each tool is in the form of a fast X and Z movement, similar to: This movement normally does not cause any issue if the tool change is made far away from the material on the Z++ direction. However there are configurations that require a different approach, more exactly machines …
