Hello! Still a huge fan 
I am sure that I am missing something, but I can’t seem to figure out what. I love the “Z - Thru” feature, but I would also like to cut my part out with a single full depth profile cut. Z-thru always adds a second pass.
Is there a way to cut the part all the way to the full thickness + plus some extra in a single pass?

Thank you!
The current design of cut thru is to add additional “step down” passes below the lowest pass. So if your step down was 1 and cut thru 3 you would see three additional passes. This could be changed, of course. But there is no option for that at this time. I suppose it’s a special case when the step down exceeds the total cut depth and this could be detected and turned into a single pass when cut thru is enabled
Is there any way to achieve a similar result by adjusting the stock size or something similar?
Edit: I believe that I used to be able to achieve something similar using the camZBottom setting in the API mode but I could be remembering that wrong
Edit2: I decided to explore this in API mode again and it seems like I can set the camZBottom to
camZBottom: -zBottom + 5;
which works to raise up the minimum depth that we cut to, but setting
camZBottom: -zBottom - 5;
Does not seem to allow me to cut deeper. Does that seem right?
the way cut thru is written is that it clones the bottom cut path and then moves it down. what you’re asking for is not supported by the current code without changes. it should be possible to suppress output of all layers above the cut thru once it’s generated. I just need to figure out how to present that sensibly in the UI
I’d also be interested in being able to cut to that same depth in say two passes which might be even harder to do 
Like if the part is 10mm thick and we want to cut an extra 2mm down from the bottom cutting it in 2 passes each of which is 6mm.
Is that totally out of the question in terms of what’s possible?
I’m pretty sure that I used to be able to do it by setting the camZBottom value, but I could be remembering wrong.
I think this is a sensible request and perhaps a future default behavior for cut thru. I don’t think it’s a simple change and there are some higher priority things I need to work through first. If you don’t mind filing a github issue for it, then I’ll get to it as soon as I can and you’ll get a notification when it’s completed.
I totally understand, that makes sense.
Thanks for letting me know that there isn’t a setting that I’m missing 
I will create an issue, but no pressure to implement it quickly.
Thank you for everything that you do!
