How It Works
From Roof File or Sketch to Standing Seam Instant Report
Panel Takeoff turns supported roof measurement files or scaled roof sketches into panel lengths, trim quantities, material order information, roof sketches, and PDF reports.
Two Ways to Start
The fastest path is a supported measurement file from Hover or EagleView. Upload the file, review the imported roof data, and generate the report.
If you do not have a file, use the roof sketch app. A scale drawing or reference image is best because the sketch needs calibrated geometry before it can be sent to Instant Report.
The Workflow
Start with a file or a sketch
Upload Hover ESX/XML or EagleView XML/JSON for the fastest path. If you do not have a measurement file, sketch the roof from a scale drawing or reference image.
Confirm roof and material settings
Set panel coverage, seam height, trim options, waste, company details, and material order settings before report generation.
Generate the Instant Report
Supported file imports can generate in seconds. Sketch-sourced reports take minutes because you draw and validate the roof first.
Review, recalculate, and export
Review the roof sketch and material order, exclude facets when needed, recalculate settings without another charge, and download the PDF.
What the Report Includes
Instant Reports are built for standing seam production and ordering, not generic roof area summaries.
- ✓Roof sketch and facet map
- ✓Individual panel lengths and panel cut list
- ✓Panel counts and panel linear footage
- ✓Trim quantities by edge type
- ✓Material order information
- ✓PDF export for production, ordering, clients, and adjusters
