I need help with a file. On my 4th version

Software Carbide Create
1

I have imported a stl file and assigned the toolpaths. The simulation shows the stl image cutting well but it also shows the project perimeter being cut fully out.

I would like to have a 1/4 inch perimeter around the project and can’t figure out how to do that.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

An alternate approach would be to set the model to “Equal”, then draw in the flat area before hand.
