Option to use in a roughing where we do not want to machine all the part BUT mostly take into acount a stock which is not a cube (essentially for Z rapids).In this case the machining area and the altitudes are not calculated with the part original stock but with this local stock.

In both examples below the yellow stock represents the original stock and the green stock the local stock for an operation.

If the operation asks to update the stock it is the part original stock which will be updated.In the last example we will have a stupid result as the rapid movements does not update the stock.
