- Matching Widths Horizontally
- Component bodies are sorted by width and length in descending order.
Bodies of the same width will then fill the board horizontally.
This can be used for rip cutting when a board’s longest dimension is
horizontal and cross cutting when the longest dimension is vertical.
- Matching Lengths Vertically
- Component bodies are sorted by length and width in descending order.
The board is then filled vertically top to bottom in columns from left to
right with bodies of the same length. This can be used for cross
cutting when a board’s longest dimension is horizontal and rip cutting
when the longest dimension is vertical.
- Fill Boards Diagonally
- Component bodies are sorted by length and width in descending order.
The board is alternately filled horizontally and vertically starting in
the top left corner of the boards. This should result with the most
condensed layout. There is a random aspect to the fill partern and
is therefore nice to try when you are looking for another option.
