- [Narrator] In the last video we took the ex offset information that we calculated in a previous video and used it to build some motion vectors, and that's been really helpful in laying out our flat array of three dimensional panels for CNC routing, and here I'm continuing where I left off in the last video. So, what I'd like to do in this video is start working out how to build out the row. So, we've got the columns pretty set but, lets take a look at what happens if we have more panels than columns. Right now we happen to have four columns set in our slider and we happen to be feeding in four panels. Let's go back to the beginning of our definition and let's see if we can find a cell with more than four panels. So, now I can see what's happening here. I'm getting some that are laid out correctly, right? So, these ones over here look great, everything is space accordingly, but, we've got some overlap here and what's essentially happening is that our definition is doing a correct job…
