What it does
The Tally-Cutlist command quantifies cladding panels into a detailed cutting list showing material requirements, panel lengths, and total quantities needed for your wall project.
Prerequisites

After generating your wall panels and cladding, select the Tally button from the wall design toolbar
Roof Wizard displays the cutting list in a dialog box
Review the cutting list data and make any required adjustments
Export or print the cutting list as needed
