OpenNest 1.3.2 is a free open-source digital fabrication plugin for Grasshopper and Rhinoceros. This video is an introductory tutorial of the "OpenNest" component and the plugin in general. The tutorial also includes a short exercise for nesting groups of objects, for instance, nesting the curves and their indices as text objects. Have fun!

In this video, we learn how to nest objects for fabrication while maintaining their type, color, layers, and other attributes. We cover the Rhino Objects and Transform Guid components from OpenNest, review Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) and the use of objects' IDs for nesting.
