FAQ

What the cut map calculates for one wall, and what it refuses to promise.

Does this find the best mathematical layout?

No. It shows one valid straight-match or half-drop plan for a rectangle and one opening. It does not claim an optimum, and it does not model a tuck overlap.

What happens at the window?

The strip is still cut to the full wall height. Dragging the opening changes the waste drawing, not the cut length.

Can I use inches?

Yes. The unit control converts the wall, the roll, and the pattern repeat. The worked example is in centimetres: 8 strips, 256 cm cuts, 3 rolls, leftovers 237 cm, 237 cm, and 493 cm.

Is half drop the same as straight match?

No. Half drop offsets every other strip by half the pattern repeat. The half-drop page and the straight-match guide show the difference.

Can I print the cut list?

Yes, from the roll cut list. Advertisements are hidden in the print stylesheet so they do not land on the sheet.

Where do the ads sit?

Units are labeled Advertisement and stay off the print. Vignette is Auto ads only, and autoAds stays false.
