Step 1

Project name

Units

Tip: Units and kerf/margin affect the layout. Width is horizontal, length is vertical.

Components

Step 2

Sheet preset (library)

Choose the material/sheet type for these components. Parts are grouped by the selected preset and the tool will generate unlimited sheets from the Material Library as needed.

Step 3

Kerf thickness

Margin (sheet edge waste)

Kerf is the saw blade thickness; margin is edge waste. If your grain matters, leave grain on the component as Along length (default) and rotation will be limited.

Allow rotation when grain allows
