AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF METAL ROOF PANEL LAYOUT AND CUTTING LISTS FOR MANUFACTURING AND INSTALLATION FROM 3D CAD GEOMETRY

摘要

Systems and methods for automatically generating cutting lists and panel layouts for roofing projects are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a job management service configured to receive user input for material requirements and store the requirements in a job data file. Prior to processing the requirements, the job management service verifies that a roof data file defines a roof geometry. The job data file and roof data file are moved to an active watch folder, wherein a three-dimensional (3D) roof model is automatically generated by a roof generation engine. The roof generation engine automatically generates cut lists and panel layouts based on mapping the material requirements to the 3D roof model.
