  • If there is an error during optimization for any (i.e. part that won't fit the sheet) you will get a Warning in the status bar about the Material and it will end Optimization on that Material and use the waste factor from the Material Catalog.
  • Buy out parts are never included in a sheet estimate
  • Any materials that has a valid Sheet Size are estimated regardless of their 'CNC' or 'Optimize' Settings
  • The grain property of the sheet is honored.
  • The Sheet estimate uses a 6mm trim, 3mm kerf, Block Nesting with not restrictions on phases.  As a result the actual Optimizations results may be better or worse depending on TrueShape versus Block and Yield versus Labor.
