How does it handle sheet lengths for raking cuts and the off-cuts/wastage?

0

Offcuts and wastage are handled differently based on the estimation method being used. For the Blocking method, it is assumed the cuts and offcuts are coming from rectangles specified from the longest sheet length and then sorted down. For the Gen-Offcuts method, coloured triangles are created on the roof, showing cut/offcut pairs. For the Gen-Panels method, the offcuts are initially not considered, thus providing a worst-case estimate. However, the second part of this Gen-Panels process allows for linear nesting of the pieces to provide a best-case estimate based on the coil length or sheet length used.
