Tool travel to avoid certain areas

I was wondering if there is a way to slice the model so the tool never travel along a certain area of the object?

For example, for it to never travel pass the gap in the photo attached.

"avoid crossing perimeters" perhaps is what you are looking for?

i don't see attached photo in your message.

No photo attached. But the simple answer is no. There is no method of producing a keep out area.

Glad avoid crossing parameters worked in this case. But it's not a panacea. Most of the time does what it says, sometimes it doesn't. And its not a way to keep travel out of specific designated areas.
