Tool head pathing question

Is there a way I can force the tool head to move along the outside perimeter when doing a non-print move in S3D? I am printing a flat key chain fob with a hole on one side in TPU and the tool head when cross the main body of the print after it finishes a layer to get to hole to do its perimeter and every time it does that it is dragging a small amount of filament across the surface and it ends up ruining the surface finish. I have tried messing with retraction but with TPU being as oozey as it is it just can't retract enough to stop it from leaving a trail along the surface

Re: Tool head pathing question

I would try using the retraction vertical lift option. That will lift the nozzle over the part so you don't have this problem.
