      <p class="para_division">Blank Geometry allows you to specify geometry or faceted bodies (see CAM General&rarr;Common Options&rarr;Visualize&rarr;Dynamic) that will represent the raw material you wish to cut away. Blank geometry does not represent the final part and can be cut through or engaged into directly. </p>
      <p class="para_division"> Check Geometry defines geometry you do not wish to violate such as clamps that hold the part. Refer to the Introduction of Planar and Cavity Milling for a discussion of how these options work together to define the cut regions.</p>
