[Problem] Distance item to item and distance item to sheet

I have made four rectangles 1x1 and one 2x2 for sheet, and when I try to nest that four objects into the sheet, RhinoNest assigns one sheet per object although settings for "Distance item to item" and "distance item to sheet" are set to 0. Also tolerance is set to minimum. It is impossible for RhinoNest to set these distances to 0, it always set some distance between objects.

If anyone has a solution or suggestion, I would be gratefull.

Hi,

It looks a simple question, but it needs a lot of technical comments to answer.

In Rhino, nothing is 0, the smallest value in 0.001. It is the document tolerance. For that reason, you sample doesn't work, becuase is:

 

1 + 0.001 + 1, is bigger than 2! Then, there is not space to place both rectangles.

 

By other hand, there is a value of Distance tolerance in Nesting Parameters:

 

You must reduce this value to 0.005 in your sample. As more precision, more time needs to be calculate.

 

Your smaller distance between objects will be between 0.001 to 0.005mm.

 

If you have any doubt, don't hesitate to contact me.

 

Thanks and best regards,

Thanks Ralph for your answer, but even when Distance Precision variable is at minimum, and Limits of variants and Nesting time per sheet variables are set to maximum it won't nest the four rectangles in one sheet.
