Extra geometry
In the sensitive icon, select additional geometry to the part in the Machining Operation where the tool path was computed. Additional geometry may be a face or a clamp that you would rather avoid using in the computation and that is not defined in the Machining Operation.
Use part
Uses the part you defined in the Machining Operation to compute the collision points.
Collision tolerance
Discretization distance to check for collision between the tool and the part.
Offset on tool holder radius (dR)
Safety distance for the tool holder radius to avoid collision between the holder and the part.
Offset on tool length (dL)
Safety distance for the tool holder length to avoid collision between the holder and the part.
