The parts that are to be made with joints or having length more than that of available stocks are called Large Parts. These parts can have any length. They will be split only if they satisfy all the Joint Rules.
A part of length L can be split anywhere between the range L/5 (Minimum Joint Position) to L/3 (Maximum Joint Position). The range decreases if the minimum joint position is less than minimum split piece length by rule. In this case, the range will be between Minimum split piece length to L/3 (max joint position). A part can be split only once, i.e., only one joint per part is allowed.
Eg: If A part of 6000mm is to be split then by rule (L/3 and L/5), it can be split between 1200mm and 2000mm. But if user specify 1300mm as minimum split piece length then splitting will be done in between 1300mm and 2000mm.
For Example: Default values of the Rules are used in the examples.
1. Consider the Length of the part as 6000 mm. Then this part satisfies Rule 1. This part can be split any where between 1200 (6000/5) and 2000 (6000/3) from Rule 3 and 4 respectively. It satisfies the Rule 2 as even if it is split at 1200, the split pieces will be 4800 and 1200, both this pieces are greater than minimum piece length.
2. Consider the part with length 2000 mm. This part not satisfies Rule 1. Because maximum length required is 2500mm.( refer Joint Rules).
If it does not satisfy the joint rule then row will appear in red color and will not split.
