Tool path not extending to full face.

When using the 4axis-wire in the manufacturing application and defining the path using the side face option, I occasionally run into a issue where the start/endpoint does not extend to the far edge of the face. Instead it will pick the shortest distance where the chosen face meets another face. Is there a way to move the end point or force it to extend to the farthest point on the face?
