All right, guys, In today's video, we're gonna be looking at our first advanced feature or the order nesting tool that will be the nesting direction. Also, this will be for fabric camp software, but before that, let's have a quick intro first, so today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za z. We make sure that easy to watch problem solving videos. We also have daily updates. Otherwise we head back into the actual tutorial. So with our projects open, we have our shapes here under our actual shapes toolbox. And as you can see here, we've got the quantity nesting. We have all of them we have under nesting. So it's not manuals, and the next thing and how we can do is we go to nesting. It's gonna preview this so we get an idea of what's busy happening here. Now, this can be a great way to, uh, or you might wanna just this setting, depending on your layout of your actual sheet. So at the moment we've got a horizontal layout, and then we also get a vertical layout, which is more upwards. Let's say you're gonna use your cut off and you want to still use a lot of white space, you can say or cutting space. Then you will probably leave it on the current setting, which is in a vertical. It's cutting on a vertical direction. So now if we go yet configuration, which is like I mentioned our advanced settings, We, uh, from our first option here, we've got nesting direction, so we have two options we can set from. We've got vertical and horizontal. So now the vertical is currently so it's going from bottom to up, and then it first stack the shapes on top of each other like this, and then we'll start adding it next to it, trying to fit in as many as it can. Then next up, we've got horizontal. So I'm gonna select this and then, like okay, yeah, and then let's try and start again. And now we can see how all the shapes are on a horizontal plane, which is also can be very useful. Let's say you have to do some long cut out of your existing plain long shapes, then you want to do it in this type of manner. So afterwards you still have enough uh, cutting space to adjust that, but yeah, otherwise, it's just a quick recap, so you can adjust it from a vertical or horizontal type layout. And now we've done under your configuration section. Then you just choose here and then a little icons quite handy to explain what's happened. But yeah, otherwise, in the meanwhile, if we head here to softwaretraining.co.za. You guys will notice you've got a variety of different Softwares we do cover, and also you can isolate. You're sitting on top of right here in case you don't want to manually go through all the thumbnails. And then if you do not, however, find the video that you're looking for, you just simply go here, request the training video, but in the mini form. And then we'll do our best to try and make that for you. But otherwise thanks, guys for watching and is
