## Filters

* ***Nailers Filter*** – lets you create a filter based on parameters to exclude certain nailers. Siding elements are not going to be nailed to filtered-out nailers.

  Note: Filter should be configured in a way of what you want to keep and not what you want to exclude.
* ***Siding Filter*** – lets you create a filter based on parameters to exclude certain siding elements from being nailed.

  Note: Filter should be configured in a way of what you want to keep and not what you want to exclude.

***

## Main Options

* ***Interior Offset*** – moves all non-border nails by offset from the middle of the nailer. Positive values move nails to the right (side nr.3) while negative values move nails to the left (side nr.1)

***

* ***Split End Offset*** –&#x20;

***

* ***Free End Offset*** – moves the last nails, from the siding boards ends by set distance

***

* ***Nailing Type/Device Index*** – machine-specific code to control and customize various aspects of how the processing is supposed to be performed.

***

* ***No Nails in Blocked Areas*** – if this checkmark is on no nails will be placed if there is blocked area specified in ***Siding Trimming*** tab

***

## Layout

Let’s you configure at what positions nails are supposed to be placed, number of nails and spacing:

***

* ***Layout Direction*** – lets you choose a nailing layout:
  * ***Center*** – nails are aligned with the middle of the siding board with fixed nail amount and spacing
  * ***End*** – nails are aligned with the bottom of the board for horizontal siding or the right side of the board for vertical siding
  * ***Start*** – nails are aligned with the top of the board for horizontal siding or the left side of the board for vertical siding
  * ***Start End*** – nails are aligned to both sides of the siding board

***

* ***Start Offset*** – lets you choose an offset value from the element edge once the “Start” layout direction is chosen

***

* ***End Offset*** – lets you choose an offset value from the element edge once the “End” layout direction is chosen

***

* ***Layout Rule*** – lets you choose according to which inputs the nails should be placed:
  * ***Fixed Number & Fixed Spacing*** – both fixed number and spacing is taken into account
  * ***Fixed Spacing/Maximum Spacing*** – only fixed spacing will be taken into account

***

* **Fixed Number –** lets you choose a number of nails required

***

* **Fixed Spacing/Maximum Spacing –** lets you choose spacing between nails
