Optimising parameter to allow offcuts to be used first
When this parameter is set the optimisers use any offcut boards first before stock boards when calculating cutting patterns regardless of the relative cost or waste produced compared with the stock boards. If there is no preference between offcuts and stock leave the box unchecked.

offcuts first
Material parameters
When the parameter is set in an optimising parameter list the value applies to every material in the run. To apply the value differently for each material it can be set as a Material parameter (Main screen - Parameters - Material parameters - Waste). A material parameter setting overrides the setting in the optimising parameter list. For example the box can be checked for material: CHIP18MM and not checked for material MELAMINE-15MM as required.
Notes
- Can also be set as a Material parameter at material level.
- This option should not be used if the option 'Maximum different boards' is set as a restriction on the number of different boards may conflict with this parameter.
