This parameter identifies what the chained geometry defines.
Amount To Remove refers to the In Z value of the Amount To Remove parameter.
Top
The chained geometry defines the top of the part, a contour or a pocket. SURFCAM subtracts the Amount to Remove in Z from the Z coordinate of the chained geometry to calculate the bottom of the contour or pocket.
Bottom
The chained geometry defines the bottom of the part, a contour or a pocket. SURFCAM adds the Amount to Remove in Z to the Z coordinate of the chained geometry to calculate the top of the contour or pocket.
Top Z
Select this option to enter the absolute Z coordinate of the top of the part, a contour or a pocket. SURFCAM subtracts the Amount to Remove in Z from the Top Z value that is entered to calculate the bottom of the contour or pocket.
Bottom Z
Select this option to enter the absolute Z coordinate of the bottom of the part, a contour or a pocket. SURFCAM adds the Amount to Remove in Z to the Bottom Z value that is entered to calculate the top of the contour or pocket.
