AI metal takeoff

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.

6 min4 steps
  1. 1

    Create the order

    Sign the metal quote, then create the material order from the job — a metal quote opens the metal editor.

  2. 2

    Generate from report + photo

    In “AI materials list,” attach a photo of your hand measurements and click “Generate from report + photo.” AI fills the panels and trims from the job’s report plus your photo.

  3. 3

    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).

  4. 4

    Send it

    Pick your supplier, then Copy, Print or Email the order.

Good to know
  • Metal panels are measured to exact length; trims and flashing round up. Regenerate the order if you change the catalog mapping.
