Pencil Multi Downstep 2
Run the Navigator on this procedure and notice the machining order.
Machining is performed by layers.
The upper pass in all areas is done first, followed by the middle layer, and finally by the last layer.
If multiple cutters are used, this machining order is kept for each tool (the first tool performs all its layers, then the next tool performs machining).
Duplicate the procedure and edit the new one.
Set the Multi Pass Method to Surface Offset.
Execute the procedure.
Switch to M-View1 to check the results.
Toggle the result display of the last 2 procedures for better viewing.
The motions of the Surface Offset are shifted sideways as well as upwards.

The Approach and Retract motions are different for each pass. They are recalculated at each place while considering the geometry and stock conditions.
