When a part ignores the grain, it informs Offcuts when generating a cut list to try and rotate the part to minimize waste from the plywood sheet.
You can get the warning icon and red text when Offcuts can't find any material in the inventory large enough to cut from.
Check the inventory tab, make sure the material still exists, and add a large enough size to cut the parts from.
Inventory
When you install Offcuts, a small number of raw materials is included in the inventory. Depending on your project, the material or sizes of these stock items may not exist.
It's easy to add new items to the inventory. Just follow the following steps.
Remember, all items in the inventory are shared amongst all projects.
Tap on the Add button.
If the material you want isn't listed, tap on 'Add new material' and type in the material name
Fill in size and quantity. Price and Vendor are optional though pricing information will you understand the total cost of the project.
The new stock item is now in inventory and can usable by all projects.
Tap on the column heading to sort. Tap multiple times for ascending, descending or natural order
Most of us don't have an unlimited amount of wood to cut from. You may have only one 4x8 sheet of plywood but multiple 4x4 sheets. In Offcuts, you can tell it how much material you have, and Offcuts will work through your inventory making the best use of the inventory levels you have.
In the following example for 1/4 inch Baltic Birch plywood, we don't have any 4'x8' sheets in inventory and only one 4'x4' and ten 4'x2' sheets. When Offcuts calculates the cut list, it will ignore the 4'x8' sheet and only use one 4'x4' before moving on to the 4'x2' sheets. If Offcuts runs out of materials to cut from, a warning message is displayed on the cut list screen.
It's important to note, Offcuts DOES NOT maintain inventory levels for you. This is a manual process left up to you to manage.
To adjust inventory levels, swipe right on the selected stock item, adjust Quantity and press save
Swipe right on the stock item you want to edit and tap on Edit
All projects share offcuts inventory. When you modify the inventory, it affects all projects. If Offcuts determines that the stock item you're adjusting is in use, it will not allow all attributes to be changed. In this example, the 'Material Type' and 'Thickness' can't be changed.
Swipe left on the item you want to delete and tap on the delete button
