Measure & spec

Measure the job once. Spec it everywhere.

Take off from the plan or capture in the field, read the glass, pick the film — one measured job that flows into the quote, the cut layout, the reserved roll, and the invoice. Everything downstream speaks the same numbers because they were measured once, here.

One measurement, owed everywhere — never re-keyed.

Measured on paper. Re-typed three times. Spec’d from memory.

Takeoff

Take off the whole job, once.

Measure panes on the plan PDF or in the field, read the glass, and pick the film from your library — SightLine records real geometry and square footage by room, then carries it everywhere the job needs it. Measure once; the rest of the job already has the number.

  • Off the plan at the desk, or on the phone in the bay Captured once and done
  • Every takeoff pane is real width × height, so the cut sheet and nesting trust it
  • Quick-sqft is priceable but always marked and never cuttable
  • Read the glass and pick from your film library, so the quote and the cut plan use what you actually carry
Feeds the nest

One measured job, nested and ready to cut.

The moment a pane is measured, it is real width × height — cuttable geometry the nest can trust. Every opening in the job flows straight into the cut optimizer, nested against the rolls on your shelf, with the waste percentage reported before a blade moves.

  • No re-measuring for the cut sheet The takeoff is the input
  • Quick-sqft stays priceable but is never sent to the nest
  • Real geometry feeds the reserved roll and the invoice too
  • One number, carried Not retyped at any stage
The measure & spec stage

What the stage covers.

Takeoff from PDF.

Measure panes straight off the plan — real W×H, square footage by room.

Field measurement.

Phone capture on site when there is no plan to work from.

Glass readings.

Readings recorded per pane that price and cut correctly.

Film library.

Spec against the films you actually carry, not a generic catalog.

Inspections.

Field checks attach to the same job record.

Metric units.

Centimeter and meter capture, in private beta today.

One measurement. Every downstream stage runs on it.

Take off or capture

Panes are measured on the plan PDF at the desk, or on the phone in the bay — real W×H and square footage by room, captured once.

Read the glass, pick the film

Glass readings and film picks come from your library, so the quote and the cut plan use what you actually stock.

Nest and reserve the roll

The same geometry feeds the nesting layout and reserves the roll — the crew installs from the measured job, not a guess.

Close it out

Material used ties back to the measured job and the invoice totals from the same numbers — nothing re-keyed.

The measure-and-spec stage, answered.

Do I need CAD, DXF, or DWG?

No. Measure on the plan PDF, or in the field on your phone. There is no CAD import to set up.

What if I don’t have plans?

Capture in the field, or enter a quick square-footage number to price fast — it’s marked as quick-sqft and never treated as cuttable.

Do the measurements really flow downstream?

Yes — the same numbers price the quote, nest the cut, reserve the roll, and total the invoice. Nothing is re-typed.

Can I capture in metric?

Metric units are in private beta; inches and feet are available today.

Can I capture with LiDAR?

LiDAR capture is in private beta. Plan PDF takeoff and phone-based field measurement are available today.
