Milling this kidney shape

Milling this kidney shape

Milling this kidney shape

(OP)
Hello, I'm trying to finish this kidney shape with a 4mm ball mill and I'm have trouble getting the results I want. I would like the tool to "circle" around from top to bottom. Any idea's? Thanks. I'm using NX4.0.4.2.

RE: Milling this kidney shape

   I'm new at NX fur sure but if you change the Drive method to Area Milling and set it to project on part it gets nice... I'm guessing John is right about streamline but I haven't got that to work yet...

   (Didn't mean to hi-jack your answer John...)

PS! If this don't work in NX4, I appologize. I'm running NX6 DS!
