Would you mind sharing a screenshot of you excel sheet? When you cut onsite, what sort of setup are you using? I saw a cool way the other day on youtube where the guy sticks a knife into the box at the desired location and just pulls the film out.

Would you mind sharing a screenshot of the way you do it?

Got it! I was more meaning the process of cutting the film from the roll and working out the most efficient use of film etc. I guess it's kind of like a game of Tetris in a way. Seems to take ages doing it manually on paper. Please see the attached cutting plan sheets which I have worked from in the past. This is what I am meaning. All measurements are metric in mm so 1524 will be a 60" roll, 1220 a 48" roll etc...

Cool! I do Google sheets but then do you draw up yours onto paper after that? or use software?

Hey there, I'm new to the site and have been contract tinting for a couple of years now and am branching out and getting my own jobs. Just wondering how everyone creates their cutting plans? Do you do it manually or do you use you use software? If so what software? I currently use a CAD software called Vectorworks as I have a background in CAD design. It works for the most part but I still have to nest the panes manually onto the chosen roll size. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
