I don't understand what "Final Pass," "Per Pass," and "Tolerance" are for. They don't seem to be functional.
Only "Clearance" makes any difference in the red line's position.
Here is an anology:
Lets cut the grass on your front lawn. There is nothing in the way from the side walk until
you get near the house which has bushes and flowers planted all along the front of the house
in an irregulary shaped edged landscape.
Two grass cutters of different width's will be used.
The wide lawn mower is used first starting at the sidewalk. So you are going to make ROUGH passes
until you get close to the front landscaping. Each time you make a cut across the lawn you have made
a PASS at cutting the grass. All of the wide cuts can be called a rough pass.
The next door neighbor dosn't want you cutting his lawn. He watches you cut the grass and is
making notes on each and every step you make and in his note book he is writing down all the PATHING
you have taken. To not cut his grass, you leave a small amount CLEARANCE which will be cut using the
smaller grass mower.
Now it is time to remove the grass close to the edged part in front of the house. This FINE pass will require using
the smaller mower. So you make a number of pases. The first time you try to cut the irregular shape
you leave a CLEARANCE mowing away in a somewhat varied way but never cutting into the the reamining grass.
All that remains to FINISH cutting the grass is to edge along the landscape. You will edge such that there
is no grass, so "0" clearance. The edger can only cut so much and you want a nice clean cut so the FINAL
PASS will be very small. It will take a number of cuts so each cut is limited PER PASS.
Your very carefull when edging the lawn. You watch the edger cutting along the ladnscape and also keep
looking ahead of it so you can adjust how the edging is happening. If you only look ahead once in a while
the edging will go quite quickly, but if you are constantly looking at the actual edge cutting and just in front of it
it will take you longer to edge the landscape. That looking at and ahead of the cutting is called TOLERANCE
for the finish pass.
-------------------
Currently LT dosen't show the pathing for each finish pass and all you see is a red line / the edging.
From a testing point fo view, all we are interested in is if the final finish pass will follow the contour of the profile.
within some set clearance.
So in the manual, on page 20, are the preliminary definitions for each item associated with the finish pass.
