Flat picture

 

Patterns are displayed using the picture of the material used in the Board library, for example, grained wood or laminate.

Enhanced picture

 

This shows a 3D image of the board and indicates the cuts as incisions into the material. This makes the cutting and the waste clearer and shows that there is an underlying substrate.

- The picture is rotated for rotated patterns

 

- Nested patterns only use monochrome or colour coded patterns. If Board library picture is set the pattern colour codes are used.
