    Default Conventional milling in 3D milling option

    I'm machining a 3D contour in wood and would like to conventionally mill it as opposed to climb milling but I can't see a way of doing this.
    Is it possible?

    You control whether its conventional or climb cutting by the way you select the geometry and what you set in terms of "Tool Side". For example if you choose the outer edge of the top of a cube s that the geometry goes clockwise then set the Tool side to "Left" then you are creating a climb cut. If you reverse the geometry so that it goes counterclockwise and switch the Tool side to Right it then becomes conventional cutting.
