<p>I tried, but can't figure it out. Anyway, people of laser cuttin told me that they can make the nesting with their own software, so this is not a problem anymore.</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Hi! Thanks for answering.</p>
<p>For retrieve the outline curve I find a good method; cut the brep by a plane and you get it!</p>
<p>The Packrat is great! It will be perfect if the objects where not packed with a bounding box, because, in my case there are importants gaps between the shapes (see atached pic) and this means a waste of material.</p>
<p>If there is any other solution for nesting, please let me know.</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>Hi Zagal,</p>
<p>1) well it depends on the original objects... plug the result into a text panel!</p>
<p>2) well it depends on the projected objects! Retrieving the <em>outline</em> curve could be a bit tricky... If your original objects are surfaces or Breps you can try the BrepEdges component.</p>
<p>3) This problem is knon as <em>nesting</em>. Take a look at the Packrat plugin.</p>
<p>Post your files if you need more help.</p>
