Global Over Sizing Parameter
I was wondering if anyone else has set up a global over sizing parameter? Basically a switch in the Wizard that turns on over sizing of components to allow for scribing to walls, ceilings and floors. When turned off the model shows the ‘scribed’ finishedFlatshot operation did not generate any geometry
I am getting this error "Flatshot operation did not generate any geometry" when I use the flatshot command but it seems to only be in one drawing.

Can we add a field into the materials editor to assign a render finish to a sheet stock. This will give us the ability to set our render colors with our material information, and if the client changers a color late in the build we can change both on thePlumbing, Heating and Cooling, HVAC Repair and Maintenance in Longmont, Arvada, Boulder, Denver, Estes Park and Surrounding Areas

I know for sure it is creating this arced lead-in on 4-sided cutouts, but it might also apply to PLINES, etc. Currently, CutRite is expecting a straight route as the 1st segment, and it won't accept an arc. It therefore adds a really small segment beforeAdding Text to show up on the Nesting Optimization Report
