Auto Side Select - When checked vertical surfaces are automatically offset both sides to ensure that a wrong direction is not inadvertently selected. The main advantage is that you are not prompted to select the offset direction on all vertical surfaces, but this does mean more surfaces can be processed during the cycle.
Flat/Steep Angle - Changes the angular plane that separates the two cycles defined by the Strategy. The default angle is 45 degrees.
Boundary Overlap - Use this parameter when - after having clipped a Z Level Finishing cycle to a boundary - individual toolpath levels have been split up into many segments where the boundary and toolpath closely follow each other. The boundary overlap modifier will offset the boundary outwards by the specified distance and will check to see if this reduces the number of the segments. If this is successful, the overlap boundary is used for that particular level.
