When this macro is executed, a sheet is generated within the FreeCAD file that contains the name of the part associated with the cut specified and other parts that share its dimensions, the type of lumber/plywood/osb, the length/dimensions of cuts needed, and the quantity of cuts. Both a .CSV file and .HTML file are generated and saved into the same directory where the source .fcstd file is stored.
