Allow mix of staggered / checkerboard blocks

Optimising parameter (Rules tab) to set whether a mixed head cuts are allowed

In some cases it is useful to allow head cut section to contain both checkerboard and staggered cuts.

To do this set the parameter:-

- Allow mix of staggered / checkerboard blocks

This parameter is unchecked by default.

Notes

The normal scheme is for checkerboard cutting to terminate when the first staggered block is encountered (processing blocks from right-to-left): any further checkerboard blocks would be cut as staggered.

- This parameter has no effect on the existing rules which determine whether a particular block is cut as checkerboard or staggered (which may also be affected by saw model).
