Paths cutting too much where there are grooves in a relief?

Not sure if this is a bug or expected behavior but where sharp corners meet, I get cut paths during roughing that remove too much material:

It seems like it makes a decision to place the cut path based on average height within the tool's diameter rather than max height. If so, perhaps that could be configurable? So far I've been able to work around it by adjusting stepover and other things but thought I'd mention it.

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

I just recently re-worked the cutpath sorting for the Parallel Carving operation and discovered a bug that could cause an undesirable link move between two cutpaths. I think that might be what you're seeing here but it's hard to be sure. If you can send a project file over to the support email address I can take a look and see.

Thanks!

Oops, forgot to reply here. I sent the project file over a couple of days ago. Please let me know if it didn't come through. Thanks!

Hi Chris, I was just working on a reply. I should have it sent pretty quick here :]
