A lot of us, especially the guitar neck and other guys with 3D objects often have a large variation in height over the model we cut. In my case, 90% of the cut is less than 1.2" in height, whereas the actual heel is 4.5" in height but only about 1.5" x-long versus the total 25" x-long. I band-saw the block of wood into two pieces [two necks from one block] as they superimpose on the block flipped horizontally and vertically.
So I can run a "rough" operation and choose "geometry only" but it does not allow me to select a distance in which to start the cut [unless I am missing something]. In other words, I would like to "rough cut" the geometry with a 1" or whatever distance. I may only have 1/2" to cut, but allowing the selection of a distance from the actual model overall to begin the cut would save half my time/wear/equipment running - due to air cuts of wood not really there.
Either way, the software is fantastic at what it does and its price range. Just thought since I could state "stock to leave" - how about "stock to begin with" or "extra stock to start" as an overall buffer.
