# Getting started

A quick first run: windows to roll strategy to cut plan to diagrams.

## 1) Add your windows

- Enter width x height and quantity for each unique size.

- If you have repeats, increase quantity instead of adding duplicate rows.

- Use groups when the job needs organization (rooms, elevations, floors).

## 2) Pick a workflow

- Single-roll : You already know the roll width you're using.

- Multi-roll : You want to split the job across multiple widths to reduce waste or match inventory.

- Film on hand roll planning (Shop): Enter the roll widths you carry (and optional remaining lengths) and plan around what you already own.

## 3) Build your cut plan

- Click Optimize / Build your cut plan .

- This spends 1 monthly cut plan for that job input, and unlocks all modes/results for the same inputs.

## 4) Review results

- Check Efficiency , Linear feet , and Waste .

- Open the Cut Diagram and Windows List so the person cutting film can follow the plan step-by-step.

## 5) Print or hand off

If you're training a new installer, the diagram + window list is the fastest way to get consistent cuts without guesswork.
