Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining a cleanup pass profile is provided. The method may include identifying a pass target extending from a first end to a second end along a work surface, generating a plurality of primitives between the first end and the second end such that each primitive has endpoints configured to approximate at least one of the pass target, the work surface, and an endpoint of an adjoining primitive, and adjoining the primitives at the endpoints to form a substantially continuous cleanup pass profile.
