OpenCutList and nested components

I have been trying to use dynamic components for some cabinets. I have a plywood panel component with a rabbet along the bottom edge and another down the back edge. To make it scalable I nested the components. Is it possible for OpenCutList to use the parent component ( rather then the nested sub components) when generating the part and cultist? In the example below I need OCL to report on only

Thanks,

Dave

Hello Dave,

You’ve got two solutions to reach your goal :

  1. Convert sub component to groups. DC allows you to use group there
  2. Set your sub component with the “Cut opening” behavior.

The first one is certainly the cleanest.

Thanks so much Boris, Option 1 works perfectly!
