I'm somewhat new to cam, fyi. I'm not seeing cutter comp in any of these other strategies or a contour final pass so you aren't arcing into the walls with the dynamic/adaptive paths. Are you all using these none profiling strategies to clean the floors up then just doing a one pass contour to clean the walls? I'll work on the partial chain, I'm not entirely sure how that works since I am looking to profile the entire surface.
Thanks.
This is exactly what I do most of the time. You end up with 2 toolpaths but functionally what you are trying to achieve.
Partial chains work by picking the beginning of the contour and end of the contour. Sometimes requiring guidance at intersections. I find it easiest to use this on 2d geometry.
