Since we were building 2 desks and there are 2 identical sized Horizontal Face Frame pieces per desk, I needed a total of 4 Horizontal Face Frame pieces. So I selected the Horizontal Face Frame piece by clicking on it and then right clicking on it to bring up the dialog box of options. I then selected the option to \u201cInsert Duplicate after selected\u201d. Since I needed 3 more pieces to make a total of 4 pieces, I entered 3 into the \u201cHow many to add?\u201d field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you click on \u201cOK,\u201d you will see 3 more identical pieces added to the Parts list: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then continued adding the other pieces. I clicked on Part# 1 to select it, right clicked on it to bring up the option dialog box and then selected \u201cInsert before selected\u2026..\u201d I then added the Vertical Face Frame pieces which are 1-1\/2\u201d x 18-5\/16\u201d and I need 2 of these pieces since we are making 2 desks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After clicking \u201cOK\u201d, the 2 Vertical Face Frame pieces are added above the Horizontal Face Frame pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then continued adding all the different pieces needed like the Rear and Front Leg pieces and ended up with this Parts list: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you need to enter in the size of the wood pieces you have to cut from. I have 6-foot long 1×6\u2019s that are \u00be\u201d thick so following the same process as used on the Parts, I click on the Piece# 1 in the Material pieces box and then right click on it the bring up the option dialog box and select \u201cModify selected item \u2026\u201d. I then enter the dimensions of the 1×6 to cut from which is 5-\u00bd\u201d wide by 72\u201d long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After clicking on \u201cOK\u201d, the piece shows up in the Material pieces box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since I think I need 3 pieces of the 1×6, I then click on the Piece# 1 and right click on it to bring up the option dialog box and select \u201cInsert\/Duplicate after selected\u2026\u201d and add 2 other identical pieces. After doing this, the Material piece list should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the last thing I need to do is tell the program the thickness (kerf size) of the blade that I\u2019m using to cut the wood so it can take that into account. Just below the Parts list box is a box that says \u201cCut width (click to change).\u201d When you click on it, a dialog box pops up, asking you to enter is the blade thickness. I entered 1\/8\u201d as the thickness of my blade:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
