Lyna.Ferhi:

===Chamber===
This is the overall clearance value measured perpendicular to the thickness, excluding only the stop flange and the glass flange.

File:cameramobile.png|Example of chamber value of a movable frame profile
File:cameramobile2.png|Example of chamber value of a movable frame profile with inserted glass or shutter
</gallery>

If it is a '''sliding movable frame''', the chamber value is given by the total height excluding the glass stop flange.

File:scorrevole.png|Example of chamber value of a sliding movable frame profile
</gallery>

===Stop flange===
This is the length of the stop flange.
<gallery>
File:alettamobile.png|Example of a stop flange of a movable frame
</gallery>

===Glass flange===
This is the length of the glass stop flange.
<gallery>
File:alettamobile2.png|Example of a glass flange of a movable frame
</gallery>

===Glass flange thickness===
This is the thickness of the glass stop flange in the area where the gasket must be installed.
<gallery>
File:alettamobile3.png|Example of glass flange thickness
</gallery>

===Tooth===
This is the height of the tooth, which affects the end connections.

{{NB|When calculating the cut length of a transom or mullion, Opera also considers the end-connection operation. For this purpose, the program takes into account the height of the tooth of the profile to which it must be connected.}}

<gallery>
File:alettamobile4.png|Example of a tooth in a movable frame profile
</gallery>

If it is an inserted-glass profile, the tooth value will correspond to the negative value of the glass flange height.
<gallery>
File:alettamobile5.png|Example of a tooth in a movable frame profile with inserted glass, value -22
</gallery>

===Thickness===
This is the thickness of the profile measured on the glass housing side.
<gallery>
File:scorrevole2.png|Examples of profile thickness of a movable frame
</gallery>

In the case of an inserted-glass profile, this refers to the thickness of the glass housing.

===Interc (Intercavity)===
This is the distance between one profile and another, measured from the beginning of one chamber to the beginning of the other.
<gallery>
File:intercapedine2.png|Example of intercavity value between a fixed frame and a movable frame
</gallery>

If it is a '''sliding movable frame''', this value must be negative and will correspond to the entry dimension into the fixed frame.
<gallery>
File:scorrevole3.png|Example of intercavity value between a fixed frame and a sliding movable frame
</gallery>

===Glass interspace===
This is the space that must remain between the glass and the profile.

{{NB|This usually corresponds to the clearance value of the spacer shims. This value is also considered when calculating the filling dimensions. However, it is important to know that there is a hierarchy of precedence that the program uses when checking the glass interspace value: the first value examined is the one set on the filling; if this is 0 (zero), the one set on the glazing bead is checked; if that is also 0 (zero), the one set on the frame profile (fixed or sash) is finally checked.}}

===Template===
Indicates the template code.

{{NB|There are three codes: Z, L, T. A correct template code setting allows the program to determine if the node being created is suitable for internal or external openings. In the case of a shutter profile, the template must be set to T in order to display the external opening type.}}

{{BR}}

===Header angle===
Angle formed by the profiles meeting the fixed frame.

{{BR}}

===Separator===
Sets the profile as a separator.

{{BR}}

===Overlap distance===
Field used to set the overlap distance between the frame and the sash.

{{BR}}

===Coplanarity===
The function of this box is directed to the creation of nodes. For profiles that have coplanarity, such as between the frame and the sash, by entering the value in this box, when the program detects the profile image in the Node Creation window, it takes this value into account, positioning the sections with the coplanarity value.

{{NB|To access this box in Opera Job Management: from the ''Files'' menu, select the “Profiles” button and in the next box, press [[Image:accessories3.png]]}}

In this screen, you can link a profile to its standard accessories. By standard accessories, we mean the accessories that are normally mounted on the profile. If a profile has a predefined set of accessories, when it is assigned to a type, the full set of its accessories is also automatically assigned. It is also possible to choose which ones to mount and which ones not to mount.

The main fields of this window are described below:

;'''Accessory''' [[File:tastoc.png]]
:Displays the accessory code, loaded from the selection opened by the corresponding button.
:[[File:utilizzoaccessorio.png]]

;'''Quantity'''
:Indicates the quantity to consider.

{{NB|To access this box in Opera Order Management: from the ''Workshop'' menu, select the ''Cut'' button.}}

Cutting parameters are very important in Opera. The program retrieves information and data from them, which are then used in the technical development of the job. Therefore, operators are advised to take great care when creating these archives to avoid inconsistencies or errors.

Here is a description of the panel content

== Job optimization parameters ==

*'''ID codes for''' [[image:tastomenutendina.png]]: In this box, you can choose from fifteen types of identification code display, listed below:
{{NOTE|The identification code helps, during assembly, to identify cuts and fillings belonging to a job. This code is automatically linked to the job but can be modified. The same code can also be printed on labels.}}
:*'''Comm.Nspz''': Displays the job ID code followed by the serial number of the piece. Example: CK.26
:*'''Comm.Tpg.Spz''': Displays the job ID code, then the type ID code and the progressive section number. Example: CK.FIN.26
:*'''Job''': Displays only the job ID code. Example: CK
:*'''Comm.Tpg''': Displays the job ID code followed by the type ID code. Example: CK.FIN
:*'''LeafSide''': Adds a numeric specification from 1 to 4 for each side. It also adds a progressive number following the number of doors of the type.
:*'''TpgLeafSide''': Similar to the previous entry, but also adds a type ID code. Example: 01.1
:*'''CommTpgLeafSide''': Similar to the previous entry but also includes a job identifier. Example: BM.01.3
:*'''Typology''': Displays the type ID code. Example: FIN
:*'''Tpg.Piece''': Displays the type ID code followed by the section’s serial number. Example: FIN.26
:*'''LH''': Adds the specific height/width code for the respective sides of the type.
:*'''TpgLH''': Creates a code identifying the type and the height/width position of the blank.
:*'''Comm.Tpg.LH''': Same as above but with a job identifier.
:*'''LeafLetter''': Generates a code identifying left/right section position.
:*'''TpgLeafLetter''': Similar to above, but also adds a type identifier.
:*'''CommTpgLeafLetter''': Identifies left/right blank position, type, and job.
:*'''Tpg.LeafType''': Generates a code indicating that the leaf is Left (S), Right (D), or CENTRAL.
:*'''Leaf Type''': Similar to above, but with type coding.
:*'''CommTpgLeafType''': Similar to above, but also includes job coding.

*'''Reinforcement''' [[image:tastomenutendina.png]]: Defines how reinforcement codes (used in composite profiles, especially PVC) are displayed in the profile ID code printing, independently of the profiles themselves.

*'''Fillings''' [[image:tastomenutendina.png]]: Similar to the previous fields, defines the ID code settings for fillings.

*'''Structure ID separator''': Defines the separator type used to add the structure ID to the typology prefix.

*'''Group cuts by job''': When enabled, generates ID codes for cuts that can be merged within the job.

== Profile optimization parameters ==

*'''Units of measurement''' [[image:tastomenutendina.png]]: Unit of measurement used for cuts and optimizations.
*'''Bar length U.M.''' [[image:tastomenutendina.png]]: Unit of measurement for bar lengths in the archive.
*'''Cutting list length U.M.''' [[image:tastomenutendina.png]]: Default unit of measurement for cutting lengths.
*'''Profile prefix type in job''' [[image:tastomenutendina.png]]: Defines the prefix type in the job identification code. Opera, when creating a new job, generates a code to identify it, which is then reused in technical printouts. Options:
:*'''Literal''': Two alphabetic characters.
:*'''Serial number''': Progressive job number.
:*'''Name 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 charac.''': Uses 1–4 initial letters of the job name given by the operator.

*'''Arch allowance''': Value added to profile length during arch centering.
*'''Extra length for round arches''': Value added to round arch profiles during centering.

== Cutting list optimization parameters ==

*'''Optimization type''' [[image:tastomenutendina.png]]: Determines the type of optimization.
:*'''None''': No optimization performed.
:*'''Standard''': Performs optimization with the best cutting method. Recommended.
:*'''Fast''': Performs optimization as quickly as possible, though results may be less accurate.
:*'''Optimize bar''': Optimizes bars based on specific lengths defined for each profile, ignoring standard profile length. See also Section 1, Profiles Archive, with [[File:tastoottimizza.png]].
:*'''Length''': When cutting multiple structures with many bars of the same profile, reduces cutting time by grouping similar lengths.
:*'''Single length''': Similar to the previous, but fully groups lengths into identical values.

:*'''List''': Optimization based on values from the list stored in the profile archive.

Optimization parameters

[[File:quadroparametriottimizzazione.png|thumb|right|500px|The optimization parameters panel]]
{{NB|To access this panel in Opera Order Management: in the ''Archives'' menu, select the ''Profiles'' button and, in the following panel, click on the [[Image:tastoottimizza.png]] button}}

The purpose of this panel is to allow some customization of the optimization process.

*'''Always at 90°''': If this option is selected, it tells the program that the profile must always be cut at 90°.

*'''Cut step''': In this field, you can set a measurement in mm to define the increment for the cutting dimension.

*'''Reversible''': Tells the program whether the profile is reversible or not. The reversibility property of a profile, valid for Z-shaped profiles, means that it can be used the same way even if flipped. This property will be used by the program during optimized cutting to avoid generating unnecessary waste.

<gallery>
File:profiloz.png|Example of a reversible profile
File:barrareversibile.png|Example of an optimized bar with a reversible profile
File:barrareversibile2.png|Example of an optimized bar with a NON-reversible profile
</gallery>

*'''Symmetrical''': Profile symmetrical with respect to the inner and outer surfaces
*'''Minimum waste''': Minimum length of scrap in profile optimization
*'''Min. waste for scraps''': Minimum length of scrap in segment optimization
*'''Min. piece''': Minimum reusable segment length. The ''Auto'' option means the profile will use the value defined in the cutting parameters; see also the [[Cut]], in the [[Manuale_di_Opera_Gestione_Commesse#Section_7_:_Atelier|Opera Order Management Manual - Section 7: Workshop]].

*'''Cut priority''': Position of the order for the cut
*'''No ID code''': Does not generate an identification code for this profile in technical drawings
*'''Force bars together''': Enabling this option forces the program to always optimize by cutting grouped bars, even when a single bar would suffice; the optimization will then be displayed as shown in the following images depending on the chosen option.

{|style=float:left
|[[File:taglioott.png|thumb|left|300px|Example of optimized cutting with 1 grouped piece and the Force bars together option disabled]]
|[[File:taglioott2.png|thumb|left|300px|Example of optimized cutting with 2 grouped pieces and the Force bars together option enabled]]
|}
{{BR}}

*'''No. of assembled parts''': Enabling these fields (available if the previous option is selected) allows optimization of multiple bars together in the same list. If bars must be cut to identical sizes, simply specify the quantity here. This function is very useful for profiles traditionally cut in groups, such as shutter slats or glazing beads.

*'''Use scraps''': This field manages the segments for this profile when optimizing profile cutting from the Opera Warehouse. It activates if, in the Warehouse print settings, the '''Selected only''' field is chosen.

*'''Reusable scrap''': For Stock Management users, this function defines the minimum size of a reusable segment, different from the standard size defined in the [[Cut|cutting parameters]].

*'''Do not divide long pieces''': Enabling this option tells the program not to split long pieces across different bars during optimization.
*'''Alert on long pieces''': Enabling this field will display an error message in the printouts if long pieces are found.

*'''Unique label for groups''': This field tells the program to generate a single label for grouped cut pieces, useful for shutter slats, glazing beads, etc.

*'''Type'''[[File:frecciagiu.png]]: This field allows you to choose the optimization type among the following:

:;'''Interval'''
:Selecting this type of optimization activates the fields '''Min. bar length, Max. bar length, Step''', where you can define a minimum and maximum bar length available from the supplier, as well as a variation step for optimization. The program will then determine the best bar length to use.
[[File:taglioott3.png|thumb|right|300px|Example of piece-by-piece optimized cutting]]

:;'''List'''
:This type activates the '''Bar length''' field and allows you to create a list of maximum bar lengths provided by the supplier. The program analyzes these lengths to determine the most suitable one for optimization.

:;'''By piece'''
:This type of optimization allows ordering material according to the actual length used.<br/>

:;'''Cut'''
:This type creates a piece-by-piece optimization based on the actual cut length, with no waste.<br/>(see also how to configure the [[Cut|cutting parameters]])<br/>

*'''Message''': In this field, you can insert a note related to the optimized profile that will be displayed in '''Complete diagrams''' and '''Diagram and profiles'''.
*'''Profiles prefix''': This field allows customization of the codes that appear in the cutting sheets, making profiles easier to recognize.

*'''Source panel''' [[File:tastoc.png]]: Clicking the associated button opens the '''Accessories Selection''' window, where you can choose the panel to obtain the profile from.
*'''Cut from panel''': If a source panel has been chosen, this field is enabled and, when checked, allows generating panel cuts by sections.

[[File:finestraprezziprofilo.png|500 px|thumb|right|Profile Price Panel]]
{{NB|To access this panel in Opera Order Management: from the ''Archives'' menu, select the ''Profiles'' button and, in the next panel, click the button [[Image:tastoprezzi.png]]}}

{{NOTE|If the option '''series price''' is enabled in the Systems Archive, it will not be possible to modify prices from the Profiles Archive. When purchasing by weight, the price of a profile generally depends on the price of the series it belongs to; therefore, normally, no price is assigned to the profile but to the series it is part of.}}

Below is a description of the main fields in this window:
*'''Finish''': Indicates the type of finish to which the price refers. Finish means the aluminum coloring technique. If the series prices are based on finish without color distinction (e.g. ''Raw'', ''Anodized'', ''Electrocolored'', etc.), then the price must be assigned “'''by finish'''”: choose the finish from the list and enter the price in the '''Price''' field. Conversely, if prices vary by color while being produced with the same finish (e.g. ''White paint'', ''Red paint'', ''Green paint'', ''Silver anodized'', ''Bronze anodized'', etc.), leave the '''Finish''' field empty and assign the price “'''by coloring'''”: then use the '''Col. int./Col. ext.''' fields to select the color from the list and enter the price in the '''Price''' field.

'''Col. int. and Col. ext.''' (Internal and external coloring): Indicate the color to which the price refers.
'''Price type''': Indicates the unit of measurement on which the price is based. Eight types are explained below:
:'''series price''': the profile adopts the price of the series it belongs to.
:'''finished weight''': the profile is purchased by weight, including finish.
:'''raw weight''': the profile is purchased by weight, raw.
:'''finished length''': the profile is purchased by length, including finish.
:'''raw length''': the profile is purchased by length, raw.
:'''per m²''': the profile is purchased per square meter.
:'''per piece''': the profile is purchased in bars.
:'''component price''': the final price of the profile is the sum of the prices of each of its components (only applies to composite profiles).
:'''per m³''': the profile is purchased per cubic meter.
:*'''raw per piece''': the profile is purchased per cubic meter.

*'''From, to''': Minimum and maximum purchase quantity corresponding to the indicated price. This allows managing cases where the supplier grants better pricing as quantity increases. During order management, the program will automatically choose the best price based on the required quantity, but only if the button [[File:tastosconti.png]] is activated.

*'''Supplier''': The supplier from whom you purchase the material at the indicated price. You can thus associate different suppliers with different rates. In the ''Order Material'' panel, you can select the desired supplier, which will also adjust the purchase price.

*'''Delivery time''': The typical time the supplier needs to deliver the ordered material.
*'''Finish only''': Indicates that the mentioned price corresponds only to the specified finish. To obtain the final purchase price, the raw price must also be specified. Thus, when calculating the profile cost, the program adds the raw price and the finish price. This method is practical because any future variation will only require modifying the raw price.

*'''Code''': Code assigned to the profile according to the color defined in the Col. int. and Col. ext. fields; the profile code will be replaced by the one entered here. Some suppliers redefine the code with each color or price change. For example, for profile M999, you could have W700999 for white, W800999 for red, W900999 for green, etc.

*'''Suffix''': The text entered in the '''Code''' field will be added to the actual accessory code without replacing it. Some suppliers add a suffix to indicate the color: if “700” means white, “800” red, “900” green, then M999700 will be M999 in white, M999800 in red, M999900 in green, etc.

*'''Finish only''': If this box is checked, the program will only consider the finish price of the profile.
*'''Bar length''' (Length of bar): The program will use the different bar lengths provided by the production line and configured in the program.
*'''Min. waste''': The program calculates the portion of the bar considered waste, varying by profile finish.
*'''Qty per package''': Indicates the number of accessories contained in one package.
*'''Margin class''': Allows associating a different margin percentage to various production costs. For usage, see the section [[Classes de marge|margin classes]].
*'''Price #1 to #8''': Purchase prices excluding taxes (VAT or others).
*'''% Discount''': Possible discount percentage granted by the supplier.
*'''Series''': Price possibly assigned to the entire series.
*'''As of''': Date of the last price update.

In the '''Colorings''' section, the colorings associated with the profile appear, filtered by '''Finish'''.

'''Content description''':

*'''Name''' [[File:tastoc.png]]: the machining to assign to the profile
*'''Autom''':a set of automatic operations that Opera can manage to choose from. The machining cost will be automatically calculated.
**''None'': there is no specific condition to use the item, so the software will use it in any case. Please note that also setting a variable can affect whethere the accessory is applied or not
**''Connection bar contact'': this is used when the machining is related to the lock contacts where the connection bar insert when the casement is closed. this machining is usually linked to the Connection bar hardware
**''3RD closure contact'': an additional contact is usually mounted on the sash side where the lock is, usually for security locks. The machining is usually linked to the sash, and instructs the software that the sash profile next to the lock should contain a 3rd closure. Using formula you can setup the right condition for the exact position of the machining
**''Bearing plate'': the machining using this automation is linked to the lock hardware, and is used to setup a machining for the bearing plate located in front of the sash profile (can be either a mullion or a frame).
**''Contact'': this is used to setup machining for keepers related to the lock. The machining will be executed to the profile located in front of the lock. Each keeper involved will require a new machinining with "contact" automation and a set of rules/variables for the right positioning along the profile
**''Mullion Hole'': this automation is linked to the mullion support hardware. the machining is executed on the sash profile where the mullion is connected to
**''Band lock'': this is used only on band lock hardware, the machining is executed on the profile containing the lock
**''Push Handle'': push handle requires holes on both vertical sash profiles, this automation indicates the position of the two holes according to the lock position.
**''Opposite profile'': this is a general automation used on hardware which require a machining on the opposite profile the one containing the hardware itself
**''Hardware screw'': this is used for hardware screws, usually associated with conditions on height and width of the sash with variables Hia and Lia
**''Shutter hinge'': this is used for shutters requiring machining both on vertical and horizontal sash profile
**''Shutter hinge 3rd sash'': same as above but specific for 3rd sash on shutters
**''Hardware trimming'': machining to calculate the measure to cut the hardware accessory
**''Hardware striker slot'': this is used for machining of hardware installed on striker slot, machining must be added multiple times with condition and rules for a correct positioning according to the height of the items
**''Opposite profile (opposite ref.)'': same as opposite profile, but the reference point of the machining will be referred to the receiving profile
**''Gasket cut'': automation related to machining for gasket cut
**''Secondary hardware screws'': this automation is used to manage machining for corners of perimetral hardware. This only work for hardware items having position Head/R or Sill/L

*'''Desc''': the machining description.
* '''Offset''': the machining offset. (set positive values for bottom/right offset and negative for top/left offsets)
*'''Cond.''' [[File:frecciagiu.png]]: athe condition to be set for performing the operations
*'''Frame profile''': if enabled, the machining will be put within the frame
*'''All through''': if enabled, the machining will be added to the profiles on the same side
*'''Structure all through''': if enabled, the machining will be added to the profiles on the same side and to the structure beside
*'''Position ''' [[File:frecciagiu.png]]: the machining posizion (left = left side of the profile, right = right side of profile, none = central machining)
*'''From the right''': the machining position is drawn from the right compensating possible cutting errors
*'''Profile component type''' [[File:frecciagiu.png]]: sets the profile to which assign the machining when the selected profile is an assembled one.
