Due to the topology walk algorithm, when i_includeTop=FALSE, the walk stops at top-area fillets. Faces geometrically "beyond" those fillets may not be reached. This is expected behavior based on the blade's specific topology.
Workaround: Use all-everything-except-base instead, which includes top faces and thus can traverse to all areas.
L-shaped blades (open on one side) are automatically detected. The walk starts only from the side that has an interior wall.
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No faces selected | Blade not properly oriented | Check blade normal calculation |
| Missing interior walls | Pocket floor not detected | Verify blade has interior pocket geometry |
| Wrong faces selected | Incorrect mode specified | Review mode flag settings |
| Walk stops early | Thickness face encountered | Expected behavior - check blade geometry |
