the walls of your PAWS are vertical and the floor is horizontal
if all you want to do is go around shape just use a 2d contour

First thing to try is deleting the workspace file.
Close mastercam and go here
It will be in my documents/my mcam 2018/config folder
Then delete the workspace file
Restart mastercam
That might not be the exact path but point you in the right direction anyway
not sure if this is the issue but i created a pmesh from the last stock model in operation 1
then i created a stock model from that in the 2nd machine group
then it seemed to work not too slowly
the other thing is that you dont have to have 2 machine groups for this
especially if it is the same machine
open the pst file
look for this section
pwrtt$ # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative
if rotaxis$ > 0 | rotary_type$ > 0 | mill5$ <> 0,
[
sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
output_z = no$
]
if vmc = 0 & tlplnno$ <> 2, sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
if vmc = 1 & tlplnno$ > 1, sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
#sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x #Uncomment this line to output rotary axis value even when it's not used
t$ = wbuf(4,wc4) #Buffers out tool number values
if tool_table = 1, ptooltable
if tool_table = 2, ppredtool
if tool_table = 3, pmetatool
if t$ >= zero, tcnt = tcnt + one
ptravel
pwritbuf5
remove the # from this line above
#sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x #Uncomment this line to output rotary axis value even when it's not used
save the file and repost
