Optimization time is a trade you should control. With stop conditions, the iterative optimizer runs until a condition you set is met instead of a fixed preset budget:
- All parts nested. Stop the moment the last part lands on the sheet.
- Scrap target. Stop when waste drops to, say, 10 percent.
- Time limit. Hard cap the run for quoting-speed answers.
Conditions are off by default and combine freely. When several are enabled, the first one to trigger ends the run and you get the best layout found so far.
