Glue gap in the updated version

I recently updated my CC to version Build778. Previously when creating tool path for inlay plugs in advance V-carve there was a place to put the glue gap ( .04). Under V-778 that option is not there. Why is that? Is it an automatic if you check “inlay plug mode”?
Confused

There have been some changes, this video can explain it way better than I can.

Hope this helps.

Previously, there was a “Bottom Gap”, which wasn’t really the glue gap, it was the top/saw gap.
If you were using the same max depth on both female & male, then the top & glue gap would be the same.

Now, rather than “Bottom Gap” and “Max Depth” you are entering Plug Depth & Top Gap.
So your Glue Gap is now the female “Max Depth” minus the male “Plug Depth”.

I created a sketch for the VCarve Inlay because I kept confusing myself.
( what a surprise ) .
This is 3mm acrylic Plug into a wood Part

Note: I noticed that i screwed up again, so here is the updated sketch.
I was wondering why my part and plug thickness was wrong.
