How to build a whole metal order with AI — panels cut to exact length, trims converted to sticks and consumables — from the report plus a photo of your notes.

Review the cut list
Check the panel product/color/price-per-ft/squares, the “Panel cut list” (length ft/in × qty), the Trim linear feet (auto-converted to sticks), and Consumables (screws, underlayment, boots).
