Horizontal operation outside to in

Is it possible to let a horizontal operation run from the outside to inside of the surface.

Yes I could use pocket or face but when there are multiple towers with flat faces on different levels the horizontal operation is very easy to use..

Except for the fact that it always goes from the in to the outside and its not always possible to leave enough stock to prevent material from breaking

@Boo If I'm reading this correctly, you want to use a Horizontal Area toolpath and force it to start from the outside. Is this correct?  

That is the way I read it and the toolpath doesn't support that from what I have seen using it, but you can use it to create the motion then backplot it then save it to a level. Then use 3D contour to do the toolpath backwards.
