🛠 Use cases
This tool will prove very useful for users who are modelling roofs from aerial imagery and providing the quantities to their customers. Anything can be modelled on screen and simply output using this tool to a Microsoft Word or Excel file.
When outputting to an "imagery report," the software allows the user to preview all images that will be placed into the report prior to actually going through the process of report creation. The resultant image file may be used for all manner of purposes from illustrating a report or an installation guide. It is the best way to get your roof model or drawing into a Word or Excel report template.
🔗 Integration with reporting
