# Multiple Pieces Setup

### Arranging multiple parts

**Your pieces should be positioned next to each other on the same plane, with spacing between each part (typically a around 20 mm).**\
If your parts are not aligned on the same plane or don’t have the correct spacing, you can either fix this by arranging them properly in the CAD program you used to export the file, or by following the steps on the subpage *“Arranging Parts in Fusion.”* &#x20;

If the parts are correctly arranged then follow the steps below.

### Manufacturing model

* First change workspace to the "Manufacturing" workspace. Click the "Design" workspace and choose "Manufacture".

* Then click "Setup".

Now click on "Setup". We will now define the working area parameters for the CNC machine.

Click on "Model" and select the body or bodies you are want to machine.&#x20;

* In the top of the setup panel, click "Stock," then choose "Add stock to all sides" and enter the extra material dimensions you have on each side — typically over 20 mm on each side will be on the safe side. This extra stock material will allow for space to screw or nail the stock material in place. In this case there is an extra 30 mm to each side. \
  Set both the stock +/- Z parameters to 0. \
  The dimensions in "Stock Dimensions" should now match your piece of stock material.

Define the origo/zero-point by pressing setup and selecting box point.&#x20;

The origo/zero point should be in the bottom point of the far corner.
