V-Carve Roughing, 2½ Axis
V-Carve Roughing is similar to a pocketing operation where large chunks of material can be removed before generating a V-Carve Finishing pass. You must specify the taper angle of the V-Bit so the offsets for the toolpath would be computed automatically. The regions must be closed Curves/Polylines.
