3.16 3D profile pocket with islands.
A pocket consists of an outside contour and a number of inside contours called islands.
As opposed to 2D pockets, whose walls are vertical, 3D pockets may be defined with a depth
profile different for each contour (up to a maximum of 4 different ones).
The surface profile defines all the contours, the outside one and the inside ones (islands).
The first 4 contours defined in the surface profile may be assigned their own depth profiles.
The rest of the profiles will be vertical.
The 3D pocket of the figure has 2 contours with "vertical profile" (C and E) and 4 contours
with "non-vertical profile" (A, B, D and F).
Since only 4 contours may be defined with "non-vertical profile", contours A, B, D, F must
be defined first and contours C, E at the end.
It is recommended to previously define the #ROUNDPAR instruction in order to obtain a good
finish because the finishing passes are carried out in G05.
Geometric parameters:
The composition of the pocket and the plane and depth profiles are stored in \ Cnc8070\ Users\ Profile.

P.3D Name of the 3D pocket.
Once the pocket configuration has been validated, the CNC associates the geometry of the
pocket to its name (surface profile and depth profiles).
