Import Your 3D Roof Model. Skip the Drawing.

If you already have a 3D roof model from a measurement provider, Panel Takeoff can read it. Upload your file, and the app builds a full 2D plan view with every facet, pitch, and edge measurement ready for panel calculations. No tracing, no re-measuring, no manual entry.

Upload, Review, Calculate

The import process takes seconds. Choose your file, and Panel Takeoff parses the geometry into a scaled roof plan for Instant Report. Every facet comes in with its pitch, area, and edge types already assigned. From there you can run panel calculations, adjust report settings, and export a PDF.

If the import data needs review, use the report roof sketch and recalculation workflow to adjust report settings, exclude facets when needed, and regenerate the PDF without spending another credit.

Hover ESX
The ESX binary format exported from Hover. Panel Takeoff reads the roof geometry, facet boundaries, pitches, and edge measurements. This is the most common import format our users work with.
Hover XML
Hover’s XML export format. Same roof data, different file structure.
EagleView XML
The XML format from EagleView roof measurement reports.
EagleView JSON
EagleView’s JSON export with the same measurement data in a structured format.

Go from Measurements to Material Order Faster

No double work
Your measurement provider already captured the geometry. Importing brings it straight into Panel Takeoff instead of re-creating it by hand.
Fewer mistakes
Manual entry means manual errors. An imported model carries over the exact measurements from the source file.
Complex roofs in seconds
A 15-facet hip roof with dormers and valleys can take time to sketch. Importing a supported measurement file takes seconds.
Review before reporting
After generation, review the roof sketch, included facets, and report settings before downloading or sharing the PDF.

No Measurement File? Draw It.

Panel Takeoff does not require an import file. Use the new roof sketch app to draw facets from a scale drawing or reference image, label edge types, set pitches, and send the sketch into Instant Report.
