Nesting Optimization Idea
It would be really great if the optimizer could somehow try and rotate cabinet sides so the back edge of the cabinet was placed on the edge of the sheet. This way if the layup job isn't perfect, any potential gap in laminate coverage or sheet edge damageSpec Group Confusion
So i Created a custom subassembly from a standard wood Drawer. I changed the material to .765 Black MCP. When i Create a New Project and bring this subassembly into a new cabinet i get this error "The Material: .765 Black MCP 2S cannot be found for LeftFoundation Library - Changing 3d layers
Question 1 How do you change the layer that 3d parts/hardware are drawn on? Scenario - We want to change things such as hinges, handles, cabinet levelers, etc to draw on separate layers instead of all coming in on 3D_HWR so that we have better controlTake_Me_Down_The_Rabbit_Hole

For a quick background of myself: I came from a cabinet shop in South Texas, where I started out on the shop floor assembling cabinets. In 2008, I moved up in the drafting/engineering department and eventually became the manager of the department. InHybrid Cabinetry
Am I alone in seeing a tendency towards cabinets that are a sheet stock and iron hybrid? I have attached an example and the real question is if it is possible to add the 1" x 2" iron pipe as a material into MV, and if so, how? TIA BenCopy spec group function
