    If I reduce the number of teeth yes it will do 2 passes, but starts with the bottom which is useless in my case. Same problem as the original poster had here over 10 years ago. 

    Check out my sample file above

    I think they all have their pros and cons and you just need to figure out which ones you prefer and which ones does the work you need it to do the best.

    Unfortunately, most of these kinds of decisions are based on $$$ instead of the things you note.

    Maybe you use a very good and expensive graphics card?....If you execute "Fit or Regenerate Display List" after zooming out...how will the surface look like? Can you test it? Thank you!

    You're going to hate the answer but here it is....

    After you scale it up and are certain you've made a good clean surface, you scale it back down and stop worrying about how it looks...the math behind the surface is correct. It will cut properly. That chord tolerance is simply how it is visualized.

  4. Let's recount...

    You have, by your own admission, your first programming job...

    You say it's 100% a bug

    and you provide an .ecam file that the vast majority of people cannot open..

    I suspect it's not a bug but a usage & definition, setting issue of course though, can't tell because you provided a file that industrial users can't open.

    Maybe next time before declaring a bug or something, you provide a file that others can easily open and query...that would go a long way to getting you the help you are asking for,,,,

    Sorry if this all comes off as a bit harsh but at least help us help you.
