Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to fix them without guessing.

"The plan waste looks high."

  • Try multi-roll or film on hand roll planning so widths pair better.
  • Check if a slightly different width matches your job mix better.
  • Confirm window sizes are entered correctly and consistently.

"The plan suggests a roll width I don't carry."

  • Use film on hand roll planning (Shop) and enter only the widths you stock.
  • In other modes, select a roll width you actually plan to use.

"My installer is cutting differently than the plan."

  • Use the cut diagram + window list as the standard operating procedure.
  • Make sure everyone is measuring from the same edge and using the same sequence.

"I changed roll selection and it used another cut plan."

Switching result views, planning modes, or roll selection does not use another cut plan while valid pane geometry and quantities stay unchanged. Adding or removing a valid pane row, changing width or height, or changing quantity and generating again uses another cut plan. If you see unexpected behavior, contact support.
