OC - Outside Corner Area

In order not to lose the bigger picture when arranging materials, it can help to first store some materials somewhere else. The Outside Corner Area (OC) helps with this.

The Outside Corner Area automatically expands the material area if it is full and material no longer fits in the actual area. This makes it easy to recognize fully utilized areas and move the corresponding materials:

Material can also be moved manually to the Outside Corner Area - to do this, select a material in the “Material Zone Editor” module and then “Move to oc area”:

Material is automatically placed on OC areas in the following situations:

• If something has changed in your part data and you select the "Move to oc area" algorithm
• If more material has been assigned to an area than fits on the area
• If the OC area was defined as the material area when importing part data
