    problem with a 3d cut mastercam x6

    we are trying to machine a ramp on a part using mastercam x6 for solidworks. when it is machined it leaves a step at the bottom of the ramp and we can't get it to go deeper. If you look at the image that shows the toolpath it isn't touching the part. I'm using a 12mm ball nose cutter and using surface highspeed (raster) toolpath. Anyone got any ideas?

    Containment boundary? Geometry selected to cut? MC is most likely stopping to avoid collision of the bottom surface or to stay within containment.
