2-Axis profile

Hello, I'm looking for a solution to create part profiles for cnc router cutting. At the moment, the only solution I can find is to use the 2 axis profile and select each edge of each pocket, which quickly becomes frustrating.
Have you found an option that would allow you to select a face to enable contour cutting?

    @patrice_fortin568 Today, users need to select each edge individually until we support chain selections. We are also exploring options for face selections. For today, you will need to use 2 axis profile or you can use constant Z. Constant Z looks at the body to calculate the toolpath, however, you cannot apply cutter compensation for this toolpath. (G41, G42). 


    Here is an example of constant z using a replica of your part model.
