Chamfer - path miss faces
Hi
I'm trying to setup a chamfer operation on faces of a shape I've designed. The drawing is based on a svg file I've imported into and extruded in freecad. The svg is a bunch of splines that outline a sort of elliptic shape. When I setup operations in path to try and mill faces on my piece it doesn't work. It seems freecad/path don't recognize the faces choose for the operations. I attach a file with the issue I'm having.

Neither the 3D Pocket nor the Mill Face are appropriate for these small 3D curved faces. Both operations cut in a horizontal plane. The 3D pocket will step down layer by layer if the step size is made small enough, but there will still be stair steps in the final product.
I had no trouble making either of these operations select the faces, but the results are probably not what you want.
Here is a cross-section showing the result of the 3D Pocket with a small stepdown.

Ah so it can't be done in freecad, bummer.

Mhm... I can't find it (in 0.20.1). Where do I find it?
Thanks
