Nesting - Highlighted source SourceFile.1 requires material Ash which is currently not being used.

I'm getting an error prohibiting me from nesting some parts I have. It says "Highlighted source SourceFile.1 requires material Ash which is currently not being used. To nest this shape, please add relevant packaging. " I don't know how to overcome this error.

Does this mean that to nest anything, you have to mess with it's appearance(which will assign it a material)?

Hi @jayarvinsettle , You need to select the appropriate packaging in the nest study. In the packaging tab, you can double-click an available packaging to add to the study. By default, Nesting will automatically create the packaging based on the thickness and material of the model, or you can customize the packaging in the process material library. Hope this will help you create the nest study you need.
