The Part clearance option is now available when Type is set to Full vertical retract for 3D high speed toolpaths. Part clearance sets the minimum distance the tool maintains above the part while it is rapiding between passes.

This image shows the part clearance option.

The actual retract height is set by the Clearance plane. However, if the retract height is less than the Part clearance, Mastercam adds an additional linear move between them until the total height equals the Part clearance.
