Collision-less Mode

What makes Metalix stand out for me personally is the flexibility that Metalix offers me as the programmer. Metalix AutoNest can make automatic decisions that work in most situations; but when I would like to take a specific approach to a job, it is extremely easy and fast to implement things my way. The software does not push you into a corner and force you to do it a certain way.

AutoNest provides a very efficient collision-less mode, that helps you avoid collisions by not allowing you to place one part upon another.

If you try to do so, the part stops in a non-colliding position (see the green contour in the picture below). If you release your mouse button when the new part is positioned on top of another, AutoNest automatically snaps the new part to the closest non-colliding position available.
