Hi. I convert my old 3D in a laser engraver, so, I have Z axis.
Lightburn works fine, but, when I want cut a wood and use multiple pass, lightburn change the Z axis by each fragment of cut, so, if a have a model with 20 fragments and 3 pass, the axis is move 20*3=60 times…
Any way to make each cut complete, change the height and repeat the cut?
This is worth review, Line Settings - LightBurn Software Documentation 
I had already read that, but it doesn’t solve my problem.
I want the laser to make one pass of the complete layer first, and then another complete pass instead of doing all the passes of each line in a row.
Can you post a screenshot of your design and layers tab?
The design is this: Laser Cut Dice by TexasLaser - Thingiverse
That file has issues that are not idea nor optimized. I have taken a quick edit to assist. Many of these shapes are not closed, and the job can benefit from tuning the Cut Optimizations as well.

This will then step the Z axis down and then run another layer?
From the documentation I posted above,
Z step per pass
When doing more than a single pass over a shape, the Z step per pass setting allows you to tell LightBurn to raise or lower the laser with each pass by some amount. This is most often used for thick cutting or deep engraving, allowing you to shift the focus point deeper with each pass to help maintain efficient cutting.
I apologize! I didn’t have time to read through again before I left the house!
