Without the actual path it's going to be very hard to find out where it goes wrong.

If you cannot share that publicly I would advise sending feedback to the developers.

not very often I get to say this, but dang. Has that 'from tool' option been there all along? Don't think i've ever noticed that one.

Seems a much better option to choose "From Previous Operations" so it actually looks at the remaining material. Might not be causing the issue, but dollars to donuts it's a contributing factor.

right, I can't think of a place i'd actually prefer to use this, but it likely has a benefit of improved computation time in some instances.
