After creating your 3D path with Planar or other method, use CutAuto to create the code. This should show the toolpath being roughed down in steps.
Note that the stepped down toolpath is only shown temporarily. Sometimes it's handy to have the actual roughing passes for future reference.
To do this, highlight the code just created and select Edit > Geometry from NC and this will backplot the code into the CAD window. You may want to put it on a separate layer to blank it.
Good luck,
