Blocks will be physically divided into these groups after use, based on how small they were cribbed for the last job run.  In the example above, we have 5 groups of blocks; the first group will contain blocks that are up to 55mm in size; the second group up to 60mm in size, etc.  :

The first group has blocks up to 55mm large, can be used for any job requiring up to a 55mm crib

 

The second group has blocks bigger than group 1, up to 57mm; the third group up to 65mm, the fourth up to 70mm, and the last group is made up of full-size blocks (75mm).

 

Generally speaking, the lab will want to select the largest possible block (to provide maxiimum support for the blank), that is no larger than necessary.  Rx-Universe will select blocks from the appropriate "group" based on the crib required for the job.  In the example above, for example, a job which has a crib value of 62 would select a block from the "65" group.
