Getting started

A quick first run: windows → roll strategy → cut plan → diagrams.

1) Add your windows

  • Enter width × height and quantity for each unique size.
  • If you have repeats, increase quantity instead of adding duplicate rows.
  • Use groups when the job needs organization (rooms, elevations, floors).

2) Pick a workflow

  • Single-roll: You already know the roll width you're using.
  • Multi-roll: You want to split the job across multiple widths to reduce waste or match inventory.
  • Custom rolls / film on hand (Shop): Enter the roll widths you carry (and optional remaining lengths) and plan around what you already own.

3) Build your cut plan

  • Click Optimize / Build your cut plan.
  • This spends 1 credit for that job input, and unlocks all modes/results for the same inputs.

4) Review results

  • Check Efficiency, Linear feet, and Waste.
  • Open the Cut Diagram and Windows List so the person cutting film can follow the plan step-by-step.

5) Print or hand off

If you're training a new installer, the diagram + window list is the fastest way to get consistent cuts without guesswork.
