FAQ
Questions Grain Direction Restrictor owners ask.
- 01
How does the capability handle vertical grain orientation?
When grainDirection is set to 'vertical', the capability swaps the piece's width and length mapping. The intrinsic width is checked against the stock length, and the intrinsic length is checked against the stock width.
- 02
Can I use this for standard bin packing without grain constraints?
While you can set all pieces to a single orientation, this capability is specifically built to enforce the restriction that prevents rotation. If you need free rotation, you would typically use a different optimization engine.
- 03
What happens if a piece exceeds the stock dimensions?
The validate_single_piece capability will return a failure status with an error message indicating whether the oriented width or length exceeded the available stock limits.
