Optimizer: Material Setup
 
The material setup window contains all the parts of the design.  This is where you assign materials of given sizes to the boards and parts that are to be cut from that material size. 
 
The parts list contains:
 
  1. Material type - Solid, sheet, or other.
  2. Board / material thickness.  This level of sort separates parts into groups of the same grain texture or color, and the same thickness.   Thickness is defined by the distance between to surfaces.  A surface of a part is determined by the part's orientation. 
  3. The size of each part in the group. 
  4. Available size pull down menu.     This allows you to choose which available size of material you want to use for a given group.
  5. Material information including grain direction, price, manufacturer, and supplier.
  6. Scrap Materials (multiple columns)      If you have a 24 X 36 sheet of scrap or cut off of a certain wood in the shop, you can enter that 24 X 36 inch size in a Scrap Material column on the row of the part you want to cut from that material.  SketchList 3D will place that part on that material.
