The Sheet Metal Nesting example displays converted sheet-metal nesting data. It switches among available original, unfolded, and nested views, with 3D or 2D camera modes according to the active view. An unfolded view is available only when the converted process data includes that stage.

Sheet Metal Nesting

What It Demonstrates

Use this example to study layout-oriented manufacturing results:

• import only nesting process data;
• read sheet-metal analyses from converted MTK model folders;
• switch among the available original, unfolded, and nested analysis views;
• use a 3D camera for original parts and a top 2D camera for unfolded or nested layouts;
• preserve analysis-driven refresh events as the display mode changes.

The shared NestingViewer inherits analysis loading, current-analysis state, scene roots, view-based camera updates, and cleanup from BaseAnalysisViewer. Its own specialization leaves drawing-sheet nested views with their imported materials while other active views use the default analysis material resolver.

User Flow

1. Start the examples with the server-backed command.
2. Open Sheet Metal Nesting.
3. Import or choose a converted nesting model.
4. Switch analyses or available display modes from the analysis controls.
5. Inspect an available nested layout in the 2D top view.

User Interface Components

Source	Description
NestingImport react/src/pages/mtk/nesting-import/NestingImport.tsx	Import route component. It restricts available processes and preview cards to nesting results.
AnalysisImport react/src/pages/mtk/analysis-import/AnalysisImport.tsx	Shared import page for server availability, STEP conversion, folder import, and converted preview selection.
NestingViewer react/src/pages/mtk/nesting-viewer/NestingViewer.tsx	Viewer route component. It loads nesting data, renders analysis controls, analysis information, and the viewport.
AnalysisSelectAndViewControls react/src/pages/mtk/analysis-viewer/ui/analysis-select-and-view-controls/AnalysisSelectAndViewControls.tsx	Selects current analysis and switches sheet-metal display modes.
AnalysisInformationPanel react/src/pages/mtk/nesting-viewer/ui/analysis-information-panel/AnalysisInformationPanel.tsx	Displays sheet-metal and nesting details for the current analysis.

Core Logic Classes

Source	Description
NestingViewer shared/src/viewers/mtk/nesting-viewer/NestingViewer.ts	Inherits analysis loading, current-analysis switching, and camera behavior from BaseAnalysisViewer. Customizes material resolution so drawing-sheet nested views keep their imported materials while other views use the default analysis materials.
NestingAnalysisData shared/src/features/mtk/analysis/nesting/NestingAnalysisData.ts	Defines the nesting target data schema reused from flat-pattern data and the nested-sheet process-data schema.
NestingAnalysisBuilder shared/src/features/mtk/analysis/nesting/NestingAnalysisBuilder.ts	Converts nesting process data into sheet-metal nesting analyses.
ManufacturingAnalysis shared/src/features/mtk/analysis/base/ManufacturingAnalysis.ts	Stores the target, process metadata, views, analysis trees, item geometry, and target-level import error used by every manufacturing analysis.
SheetMetalAnalysisData shared/src/features/mtk/analysis/sheet-metal/SheetMetalAnalysisData.ts	Defines the sheet-metal target analysis data schema reused by sheet-metal processing.
AnalysisSession shared/src/features/mtk/import/AnalysisSession.ts	Reads converted nesting folders through a FileSource.
shared/src/features/mtk/analysis/sheet-metal/	Contains sheet-metal analysis data, the sheet-metal process definition, and the base sheet-metal analysis builder reused by nesting.
shared/src/features/mtk/analysis/nesting/	Defines nesting process-data schemas and builds the nested sheet view.
