Close the gap between a beautiful preview and parts that actually fit: encode material thickness, kerf and fit as parameters, flatten and label every part, script the RhinoCommon Unroller, and run the tolerance-ladder dry fit before committing a full sheet. Ends with a workshop checklist for taking any definition to the laser or CNC.

Automated Baking with Attributes
Stop baking anonymous geometry onto the Default layer. Build a forty-line C# component that bakes with data-driven layers, names and colours using ObjectAttributes and the RhinoCommon object table — with auto-created nested layers, an idempotent re-bake pattern, and an honest look at Elefront, Human and Rhino 8’s native alternatives.

Includes a Print-based debugging workflow and clear guidance on when scripting beats native components.
