New Business Waste Calculation Algorithm
Starting from program version 1.58, it's possible to use a new algorithm for waste calculation. It allows finding optimal rectangular waste pieces.
Let's take this ceiling as an example. Two business waste pieces will be formed in it.
When using the standard algorithm, waste pieces will be created based on overall dimensions - the longest side and the widest side: 496.3*223.9.
Such waste needs to be manually edited in storage, specifying actual dimensions.
When using the new algorithm, the program will look for the largest rectangular areas in the waste pieces. And cut off unsuitable areas.
Show new waste formation process - enables displaying the waste formation process to avoid visual program lag.
Tilt step (in degrees) - the smaller the value, the faster the waste is formed.
Let's consider an example of a diamond-shaped (tilted) waste. During business waste formation - the algorithm tilts the rectangle and checks if it fits in the area. This setting determines how many degrees to rotate it. The smaller the tilt step - the higher the accuracy when working with tilted areas, but this affects speed.
Above is an example of the resulting waste with a tilt step of 90 degrees.
Below with a tilt step of 1 degree.
Number of iterations - affects the overall accuracy of waste creation. This setting mainly matters in complex ceilings where several waste pieces can be formed. The setting affects the speed of waste formation. The recommended value in most cases is 10-20.
Above is the number of iterations - 100.
Below - 1.
Business waste is formed once for a ceiling if no changes are made to it.
