Topic: Fill in the gap of my nested item

[topshelfvalueinc]

So i have a program that i am using to nest shapes into a contained area ( sheet of foam ) and sometimes my nested items do not fill the full sheet. for example my foam size is 72x120 inches, if i cut a 24x72, 24x96, and then im left with a space of 48x96. im trying to make a code that will give me the best optimized items from the list below to fill in the space for little to no waste. My sizes that i can use to fill in the dead space is 24x72, 24x84, 24x96, 24x120, 30x72, 30x84, 30x96. What im hoping is a function that i can give a list of items that will be nested and it will output 2 pieces 24x96 or it would say if instead of it being 48x96 inches left over i had 54x96 it would say 1 piece 30x96 1 piece 24x96

Maybe this topic will give you some ideas to try to code for your needs...

Yes so i found one that nests and it works amazingly but im looking for something that will add parts into the nest on sizes i use usually if the sheet isnt fully used, for example i have the drawing below, its already been nested now i need to know from the sizes below, which sizes are best used to maximize the remaining spaces, 24x72, 24x84, 24x96, 24x120, 30x72, 30x84, 30x96

willing to pay for this if someone can figure it out for me

Free website to calculate this. I think you can use spread sheets to speed up the inputs.

Only really calculates rectangles areas I think.

how do i get the formula that it uses?

I'd assume it's under lock and key on their back end server.
