For better manuafacturing results you should run an optimization process for you projects. Each profile has some options that help Ra Workshop application use it on Profile Cutting Optimization

General Settings
Geometric settings describe how this profile is use in optimization process. These settings are default setting and can be changed latter in the Profile Cutting Optimization form.

Optimize. Uncheck this setting if you don't what this profile to be optimized. For example in more cases glazing bead won't be optimized
Use double cut. Use this option if you have a double cutting machine. This optine is better for optimizing manufacturing (cutting) time but will decrease optimization result.
Container Size (buc). If a container it is used in manufacturing processes, you may set here the size of the bin (number of bin's cells).

Stock Settings
For optimization process and stoc remainders you should fill the parameters below:

Stock Usage Mode. Depending if you are using stock remainders or different bar lengths you should select:
- Optimization without stock. Optimization that won't store and use remainders.
- Only stock standard length optimization. Optimization that will work only with standard lenght bars.
- Only stock remainders optimization. Optimization that will work only with remainders found in stock.
- Stock optimization. Optimization that will use both standard bar lenght and remainders.
Fair Loss Limit. This is the miminum profile length that is considered in the optimization process. Less that this limit means 0.
Maximum Loss Limit. This is the limit of the smallest profile length that can be stored in the inventory system.
Optimum Loss Limit. Ra Workshop application will try to add to stock rests that have the length arround this value.
Optimum Stock. Optimization process works better if you have rests of profiles in stock. That why the application will try to add to stock the numer of pices entered in 'Optimum Stock' text box.
Maximum Stock. Maximum number of pices that can be stored in stock for this profile.
