Why won't this nest?
Howdy - I've created a cross-grain sheet stock to get some long horizontal-grain panels for this kitchen. I've created some cabinets with side panels and doors with continuous grain. When I nest, the side panels will nest just fine, but the doors won't. Any ideas?
Thanks - Jason

Re: Why won't this nest?
Hey Kerrie - that's strange. The doors are supposed to be cross-grained. They should nest with the "dark ceruse sideways" stock, not the plain old "dark ceruse" stock. So something still ain't right....

Jason,
The doors are not out of the sideways material when I load the cabinets from this job. If I delete and re-add the doors using the sideways material, it nests them OK for me.

Re: Why won't this nest?
Ok, starting to make more sense - I had incorrectly made the doors out of the standard 4x8 stock, not the cross-grain 8x4 stock. So I was unable to nest the tall doors properly. However, it seems weird that when you guys loaded the job, the doors weren't mounted cross-grain, and went ahead and nested properly.
Anyhoo - thanks for looking it over - Jason

Jason,
If I delete the doors and re-apply them using the sideways material they do not nest for me.
Did you know that your sideways material displays the grain running vertically with the length not cross grain?

Re: Why won't this nest?
Weird again - it works for me (once I corrected my door material choice). The cross-grain material (Oak rift - dark ceruse sideways) appears on the nest diagram correctly. When mounting doors, I have to change the grain 90degrees so it goes horizontal. Same is true for the cabinet sides - in const settings I rotate the grain 90 degrees. It's all nesting correctly.

Jason,
If I rotate grain everything works fine. What was the purpose of the sideways material?

Re: Why won't this nest?
Clients want a horizontal grain on everything, including the refrigerator side panels. A standard grain (4x8) sheet stock won't cover a frig panel that's 635mm long x 2300mm wide, so I had to generate a new one with cross grain configuration. Whoopee!
