Setting a materials grain / graphic direction

Shows how to set grain direction for a material or individual input panel, ensuring panels are not rotated during optimization when grain direction must be preserved.

Last updated on 17 Aug, 2026

Setting the grain or graphic dimension in MaxCut is easy. You can set it to have a grain for a specific material, or you can set it for a specific input panel.

Setting grain for a specific Material

On the menu go to the following:

Manage > Materials > Sheet

Select the material you want to configure and click "Edit"

Image

You will see a "Has Grain" - if it is checked, when optimizing, the material will not rotate the input panel.

Important to note that "Grain" always follows the length.

Setting grain for a specific Input Panel

Add or edit a input panel - on the bottom left you will see and "Advanced" button - click it.

You will then see the advanced settings for that specific input panel.

Selecting "No Rotation" is the equivalent to setting a grain for that specific input panel.
