True Shape Nesting - % Utilization  

This is an efficiency calculation showing how much of the sheet area was used for true part area production.

Rectangular Nesting - % Utilization  

This is calculated using the rectangular areas around each part, rather than the true shape of the part.  This will not represent a true efficiency comparison between true part area and sheet area.

The non-utilized remainder of the sheet area would be remnant and/or scrap.

tog_plusList of Unnested Parts

If for any reason a part could not be nested in any sheet, it will be listed here.

tog_plusList of Remnant Sheets

This list will include all Remnant Sheets if any, calculated using the Remnant Controls from the Choose Nesting Parameters tab.
