Hello, I just started using a 4th axis. I use bobcad v31. When I post my gcode of my part in on my machine. It shows the top 50% of my part fine.The bottom 50%shows up above my part in the top of my parameters. I zero and touch off. Then the top of the part is milled fine. Then my part rotates 180 and I get a z height error and machine shuts down. The bottom section is still above my top and high in z plane.I have attached a post so you can see what I'm talking about
What could it be, I have tried machine setup, new indexes etc. As always on this journey it will be something simple. Any help would be appreciated.

I think it might be the tool length G43 - you flipped the work-plane upside down

Maybe set G54 Z0 as the center-line of the rotary
