What do you have for your gap motion setting?

I've never really understood this, especially with 3d toolpaths. I have had to go into the gap settings and put some "huge value" in order to force the tool to stay down...

Even if I have redrawn wire and created a surface and then chose that surface, some times the tool doesn't want to stay down. Drives me nuts.... Sorry didnt mean to hijack.

Did you change it?

No I didn't.  I just moved on.  I just changed the step over which fixed it.  I realize changing the gap motion would fix it too.  I just was wondering why with the settings I originally had, which usually work in similar situations, didn't in this one.  This tool path usually works flawless with these settings but recently I have randomly seen this gap motion.  It has 2 air regions on single solid.  Maybe that has to do with it idk.  I should go back and test it a little more when I have time.
