The maximum step over is the distance between two neighbouring parallel cuts.
Here you can set the maximum step over.
This parameter is measured differently with each pattern used:
In case of Parallel Cuts, it is the distance between the parallel planes.
In case of Cuts along Curve, it is the distance along the curve perpendicular to which the cutting planes are used.
In Morph between 2 Curves (/ Surfaces) - the lanes are distributed so that at the maximal distance (along the drive surface) between the curves (/ surfaces), the distance between two consecutive lanes will be the user defined value.
In case of Parallel to Curve (/ Surface), this will be the 3D distance between 2 consecutive lanes.
In case of Projected Curves only one cut is done, so this parameter is not available.
Notice that according to the above rules, cases where the actual step over is higher than the maximal step over set, are legitimate.
Small step over:
Big step over:
