Alternatively, you can edit stock details by clicking the edit button on the left of the item name.



The Material price defined here for a particular source length & material overwrites the material price set in the Materials window, for that particular source.
For ex.: if you defined a price of $10/m for the material type "Steel Pipe" in the Materials window, this price will be used for all sources having "Steel Pipe" as material, regardless of their length. But, if you define a new price in the "Stock item details" window for source length 2500 mm and material type "Steel Pipe", this new price will be used for all 2500 mm "Steel Pipe" sources instead of the price set in the Materials window for the "Steel Pipe" material type.

Please note that the material list will contain only those materials that are present in the Materials list. Smart1DCutting manages different material sources and parts based on this field. If you don't plan to use different material sources and parts you can leave this field empty all the time.

Important: The best practice is to add the material type to the Materials list and then select it from the drop-down box for each stock item.
Even the smallest difference between 2 material strings will cause the program to treat them as different materials. For ex.: "PVC Pipe" and "PVCPipe" are considered different material types by the optimization engine.
