WP and SF%

[Anonymous]

In the cut list you will see a column labeled WP and in the material list a column labeled SF%.

The WP is the Work Plane in 3D on which the particular part is oriented.
The is X, Y, Z ane “none”. None is simply World View (a CAD reference).
It is displayed as an aid to the administrator of the CHBD only.

The SF% is the calculated Scrap Factor.
It’s a simple calculation that takes total length of a material (or total area for sheet material) then divides that total by the calculated total length or area of the required parts.

You will also notice the scrap factor display changes color.
If the Color is GREEN, you will have more scrap, so presumably ample amount of material (I always figure an extra 10% of material is a good thing) – If it is ORANGE, then scrap is less and if it is RED, you are cutting it close. It’s there just as an aid for your shopping list. If you have a RED scrap factor, then it might be a good idea to buy one or two more of that type board.
