Advantages of grouping

Total Lightburn noob. I have my design pretty much down and divided into layers. I’m wondering if there are any gains to be had by further grouping elements within each layer. I see there are options for how Lightburn fills shapes and groups. Also, I currently have it set to outline each layer then fill each layer; I’m wondering if it would make any difference if I outlined and filled each layer sequentially.


I can’t tell from the images if there are any time gains to be made from modifying order of events or choices of actions?

Are you willing to share the LightBurn file? I’d be happy to look at it after I catch up. :slight_smile:

I determined that outlining everything and then filling was detrimental and changed things up a bit. This file produces good quality but I just want to optimize it since I have to make 150 of these. It’s not that big a deal.

Your file looks really good. To optimize I would probably put the outer features on to different layers to force the work to proceed roughly clockwise with the intention of reducing the traverse moves. (as opposed to the few jumps back and forth across the middle)
