11.2.4 Geometry of the contours or profiles
To define the contours of a 2D pocket, the plane profile (3) and the depth profile (4) for all the contours
must be defined (even if they are vertical).
Since the canned cycle applies the same depth profile to the whole contour, the same start point
must be used to define the plane profile as for the depth profile.
3D contours with more than one depth profile are also possible. These contours are called
"composite 3D profiles" and will be described later on.
