Hello,

I want to add some offcuts to the materials source list, how do I add a one-off size instead of a new material category? TIA

  The way the program is designed, it always assume you have an unlimited amount of the main sheet size. The program does not include stock management, so adding a one-off size is not possible, without having an unlimited number of the main sheet size as well.
  The way the sub-sizes work, is that the program will only use the sub-sizes if using them makes the most sense in terms of the amount of board being wasted. It would therefore not necessarily use the sub-sheets.

  The only work around you could do in this case, is if you made the main sheet size very, very big (like a huge number). The best wastage optimisation should then choose to use your much smaller limited amount of sub-sizes, as using the larger main sheets would created a much larger wastage percentage.
