To ensure machining safety, the software applies an angle limitation to H-Beam toolpaths. As a result, the following toolpath on the H-Beam web can only extend up to 45° at the R Corner.(For detailed explanation, please refer to the tutorial “H-Beam Toolpath Angle”.)
Therefore, for parts on the H-Beam web that include features such as tongues, weld scallops, or slots: When the web toolpath angle at the R Corner θ < 45°, the Follow Cut toolpath can be generated normally. When the web toolpath angle at the R Corner θ > 45°, the corresponding web toolpath will be white-out by the software.

For this scenario, depending on machine and processing requirements, there are three available solutions.
You may first identify the scenario that applies to your machine, then click the Quick Jump link to directly navigate to the corresponding method.
| Scenario | Method | Solution | Workpiece | Quick Jump |

Steps:
① Import the part. After performing Collision-Avoid, click Optimize H-Beam End Toolpath.
Note: 【Optimize H-Beam End Toolpath】 is an exclusive feature of the Steel Structure Edition.
If the option is not available in the toolbar, please refer to the tutorial 《Enable Steel Structure Features》 first.
② Set the Cut method to Follow Cut + Fixed height cut. Configure the parameters as needed, then click OK.
