1D Nesting

Description

The 1D nesting plug-in helps determine how many parts of different lengths can be created from a single length of tube. The length of the main tube is given as well as the lengths of each individual part and how many are needed. After these values are supplied, a list of the parts that can be made out of each length of the main tube is generated. The amount of leftover tube is supplied as well.
