Hi there, guys. In today's video, we're gonna be looking at where you can see your sheets information on your part and sheet panel. But before that, let's have a quick intro first, so today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za. We make sure that easy to watch problem solving videos, and we also have daily updates otherwise, back in the tutorial here. So now the information for your sheet works very similar to the information for your parts, but it has a few different settings. So as you guys can see here on how bottom left here, we've got one called sheet zoom in and then we also have the sheets available. So now, once again, like on top, you can also select if you have multiple ones. But then, from the options here, we've got thickness. So you can look at what your current thickness of your material or your sheet, then also the material itself so we can see this is still and then we've got used area. So what is currently being used and and what is being used over all? So now what we can do is we have to look at this used area. Let's say I grab one of these blocks, then, um, if I delete the part, we will see that value changes a bit small, so I don't know if you will see it, but as you can see, they went from 222 242 So we can simply just add that part again. And then next to that, we've got the used. Now, if I had to add, let's say quite a large shape. We can see this number change, so I'll add part, throw it in there, and then we can see. Um, it has increased quite a lot, So this works in percentage, so we can see. Okay, we're currently using 43% of our sheet. So when you are actually utilising and finalising your design, you can make sure you squeeze in as much as you can, and you can come over here and see um, how much of it are you currently using? So to make sure you're in the waste space, you can really tighten up things here, but yeah, that is it on the information on your sheets, so just a quick recap again. We've got thickness material used area and used, like the thickness of material. You can also see kind of under parts. But these are more for what these parts are meant for. So if they are meant for alum in ium, it's gonna say it over here. And this is your actual at the bottom of your actual sheet is currently active. So yeah, that is it on the it's information before we get to the next. If we go to softwaretraining.co.za z, you guys will notice we've got a variety of different Softwares we do cover, and you can also isolate your search on the top of right. If you do not, however, find the training videos you're looking forward to simply go your request, the training video filling the mini form. And then we'll do our best to try and make that for you. But otherwise thanks guys for watching and cheers
