* In the top of the setup panel, click "Stock," then choose "Add stock to all sides" and enter the extra material you have on each side — typically 20 mm to each side as a minimum. This extra stock material will allow for space to screw or nail the stock material in place. In this case there is an extra 30 mm to each side. \
  Set both the stock +/- Z to 0. \
  The dimensions in "Stock Dimensions" should now match your piece of stock material.

* The zero point should be in the bottom of the far corner. The longest side should be oriented along the x-axis. Rotate your component in the Design workspace if you want to orient the component in another orientation.
