Retracting with each pass before rotating axis

I'm trying to link a contouring toolpath, rotate in Y, and center drill some holes. Separately, these retractions (see circles) do not happen. After using multi-axis linking, they appear and go beyond the height of the safety zone I set. I cannot figure out how to get rid of them. I have tried not forcing tool change, no finish passes and getting rid of the retraction amounts completely. What else should I try?

hiding one face of a solid

is there a way to only hide a selected face/multiple slected faces of a body? i know you can hide the whole body but sometimes transparency doesnt really help seeing all the holes.

Is there a setting that can be changed to post spindle direction(M03) after every speed(S####) command?

The direction command is only output on the start of the toolpathz(for eg S#### M03), if there's a speed change mid operation mastercam just outputs (S####). How can I have S#### M03 everytime.
