Post processor customization might be in order at some point to remove or add specific commands. I think VCP can work but is an overkill for plasma cutting; no need for V carving, pocketing, engraving capabilities... Cut 2D would have done the trick just as well.
Torch height is generally controlled via the CNC controller or manually; not by the toolpath file(s) generate by the CAM software thought it may require some commands from it hence the possible post processor modifications requirements.
