You will load which ever bit you need for roughing and select the roughing bit during project setup prior to carving. When the roughing finishes, it will act just like it has finished the project. You will then need to put in your detail bit and when you go through project setup again, select the detail bit.
For more info and examples, search for TWO STAGE carving.
