Surface HS Hybrid flats

[So not a Guru]

This may be the 1st time I've used this toolpath. I can't get it to cut the flat at the bottom of the pocket. I've got "Flat detection" checked and "include flats" in the drop down selected.

Is there something I'm missing about this?

If you only need to cut flats than Use HS horizontal. That's what this toolpath is for..flats))

Of course I don't only need the flats, isn't the entire intent of Hybrid to incorporate both z level & scallop?

Yes, but it's not perfect. There is no such tool/toolpath that will do it all great in one shot.

Yeah, I get that. I just used 2 different paths to get the results I needed.

This was the 1st time I had tried the hybrid path, the guy who originally taught me the basics of Mastercam always said the path was, essentially, useless, so I have always kind of glided past it. I'll probably resume that.

   I kind of like the hybrid path. Without seeing the part it's kind of hard to the question.  Sometimes you have to adjust the limiting angle.
