I just made a program that has 43 minutes run time. That's the longest I have ever done for a single part. I did a Zeiss program that was 9 hours but it was for 20 parts at the same time. What is some of your run times?
MetsoMetrology Tying your clearance plane commands to a specific feature is a nice trick. Now matter where your alignment is, you'll still clear the part!
For tall cylindrical parts (in situations where I want to clear AROUND the part), you can do stuff like this:
Usually I will put all my points down then run collision detection and I keep an eye on if there are any toolpaths that are close but maybe not quite hitting.
I have been pretty fond of collision detection in the past few years . Back in ~2014 I remember it wasn't that great but I use it all the time now and it is a huge life saver

Cool! Personally, I have a different opinion of collision detection. It always tells me I have crashes when I don't and because of that I have just never really trusted it. It looks cool but I rarely use it.

It is definitely finicky with scans. but other than that I rarely have any issues
MetsoMetrology regarding post #8.1...
its a Y- clearance plane, so the number has to be a negative so the machine will physically clear in the correct direction, when i flip over to the other side of the part I make it positive and remove the "*(-1)"
