Z Level will do the "Z levels" of a model. Use slice planar to get the x/y flat stuff

The Z level finish is a water line tool path. It is used to clear the vertical areas not the flats.

You could do a planner tool path like burr said, or just do a 2D pocket to finish the flats.

Then run the Z level finish to finish the vertical walls.

This was just a simple pocket to clear stock and finish the flat

Now I did a Z level finish to finish the vertical walls.
