Part Geometry is the CAD design geometry that exists in the part file. This design data could consist of both 2D and 3D data.  Part geometry is utilized in the computation of toolpaths in the  module.  Geometry is used in utilized differently in each of the machining operations in MILL.  

2½ Axis Profile  Typically uses 2D wireframe geometry.  3D wireframe geometry is used in some operations and the 3D surface and/or mesh data as well as the 3D features can be optionally used for certain computations.
