These are the job defaults. Click a line's three-stripe icon (interior | exterior | coil) to open its editor — colours, exterior system, mulled opening. Only one line is open at a time; the others fade until you press Done. The manufacturer and series tags pick which size limits and grid tables apply to the whole job; a line can carry its own manufacturer in its editor (or in the map dialog) when the job is ordered from more than one.
Three sections like the measure sheet: Windows (style · qty · W × H · room), Doors (patio door · qty · standard W × H · operation · location) and Special shapes (S-code · qty · W × H · legs · location). All lists are the sheet's own dropdowns; W/H offer the wood standard sizes first, then every 1/8″ from 9 1/8 to 150 7/8. Strip = length × width × count (inches). Rectangular rule: base = ⌈W⌉ + waste + 2·face, width base-in + base-face + base-return; top = ⌈W + waste + 2·face⌉; sides = ⌈H⌉ + waste + face; top/side width = return + face + IN.
Several windows in one opening separated by wood mulls. Side by side: the opening gets one base, one top, two legs and one mull wrap per wood mull; the base is the combined width + return × 2 + face × 2. Stacked: one base at the bottom, a base-profile strip in place of each lower unit's top, one top, and every unit keeps its own two legs. To mark windows the tech entered on one line as several mulled openings, put the line in a group and set openings — qty ÷ openings = windows per opening. Lines from different rows (e.g. DH · PIC · DH) join the same group letter; their order is the line order. Caulk and foam use the combined opening's perimeter; trim / stops are still computed per window line.
Choose the exterior system in Install systems — the coil is counted after that.

Cut across the 24" coil at each length, then rip into strips of the given width. Grouped so identical cuts are done together. Widths: side/top strip = return + face + IN; base strip = base-in + base-face + base-return. Arched units: the return and IN cannot be bent on the brake around a radius, so the arc is made of three parts — arch bottom (IN band, straight strip flexed around the window edge, length = inner arc + waste), arch top (return band, length = outer arc + waste) and the arch face, cut flat as curved sections whose height fits the Max Spec SecH coil width, each with the overlap added to its length.
Each box is one 24" × 600" coil. A section is one cross-cut, as long as its longest strip; shorter strips ride alongside across the 24" width and their leftover length is offcut. Orange = unused roll length, magenta = offcut.
Job defaults — the exterior can be overridden per window in its colour row. A window is wrapped or trimmed, never both.
Every trim material has its own colour (Rafael, 2026-09-04) and the caulk line that touches it follows that colour: window ↔ stop = stop colour, stop ↔ casing / trim = casing / trim colour, casing / trim / sill / nose ↔ wall = casing / trim colour, J-channel ↔ trim = J-channel colour. Sill and nose take the exterior trim colour; stool and apron the interior casing colour.
Piece lengths: stops are cut to the opening (butt joints); casing / trim add casing width + reveal at each mitred end and reveal only at a butt end; stool and sill add the horns; apron and nose = stool / sill without horns. Doors get no bottom piece, stool or sill. Curved edges become one flexible piece of the arc length. Sticks: first-fit-decreasing with a saw kerf per cut; the plan with the least stick footage wins (ties → fewer sticks).

One line per thing to purchase, added up over the whole job: trim sticks per material and colour (the stick plan from the trim section: least stick footage with the chosen stick lengths), coil boxes per colour, caulk cartridges per colour (wrap + trim lines together), foam cans, nails, and the materials of every custom work entry. The three cards above stay the quick glance; this is the shopping list.The coil cards and the cut list are in the Cut tab; this is the list of what to bring.
The exterior or interior system is not chosen yet — the coil and the trim are not counted until it is (Install systems).

All values are variables in the generator. Bead = width × depth (in²) × length (in) = in³. Foam sill = right triangle, leg 1" and hypotenuse 2.5", per inch of width.

Read left → right, row by row. Bold number on top = where to cross-cut the coil (dotted vertical line). Dotted horizontal lines = rip cuts into strips; each strip is labelled width · part · quantity · window numbers. Hatched = offcut.
One bar per stick (identical sticks collapsed with × n). Dotted lines = saw cuts; each piece shows length · part · window #; hatched = leftover.

Interior lines: window ↔ stop (stop colour), stop ↔ casing, casing / stool / apron ↔ wall (casing colour). Exterior lines: window ↔ stop (stop colour), stop ↔ trim, trim / sill / nose ↔ house (trim colour), J-channel ↔ exterior trim or window (J-channel colour). No caulk on mitres — pieces overlap instead.

Put the 4 orange lines on lines of the house — around the windows is best. You do not measure this box: the windows you know give its size.
Drag the 4 orange corners onto a big rectangle you measured with the tape on this wall — best from the outside edge of the first window to the last one.
Put the 4 orange lines on lines of the house — on the wall of the WinRuler. You do not measure this box: the WinRuler gives its size (the purple box, with the size you typed on it).
The bar in the middle of each side moves just that line — put each line on a line of the house (the siding, the trim).
Only one level line and one plumb line on this wall (a sloped ground, no siding)? Tap the bar of a side that sits on nothing: it turns dashed and the app draws it from the lines you trace. A plumb line can be anywhere on the photo — a pipe, a post, a door or window jamb; a level line runs along this wall — a sill, a head, a fascia. Never the ground.
Long lines, far from each other, with each end placed zoomed in, give a tighter range — a short line (a sill) placed without zoom leaves the windows unsure.
No lens in the photo file and the phone held level (the plumb lines come out parallel)? The wall lines cannot tell the lens then. Trace 2 lines that leave the wall square and level — deck joists, the side of a step or of a low wall — and the app measures the lens from them.
Tap a window you know on the map, then drag across it on the photo — its size on the sheet sets the scale. Tap it again to take it out. Two or more check each other.
The scale rectangle reaches the edge of the photo — the lens bends there. Keep its corners sharp.
Walls at an angle or set back — the sides of a bay, a chimney, a wall set back: the white line runs along ONE siding course, the same as the top of the orange box, all the way around. Tap the line where the house turns to add a dot, then drag the dot onto the corner. Each space between two dots is a wall.
Each corner also has a dot at its foot: drag it down the same corner, onto the corner trim near the deck or the foundation. The wall lines then follow the house — and the corners steady the plumb. The bar in the middle of a foot moves that wall's foot; tap it twice and hold to move the whole foot line. The bar in the middle of the top line does the same with the top of the wall: it only says where the wall ends (a window in a gable above the line joins that wall) — the line itself stays. The grid of each wall must run with its siding — if it does not, nudge that wall's top dots (zoom in) until it does.
While you drag a dot, the box by the magnifier shows the angle of the corner, each wall's angle with the orange box wall and the depth. The dot snaps to a green line: 0°, 30°, 45° and 90° with the orange box wall, the plumb, the level of the other feet. Zoom in to place it off the line, or hold Alt or Ctrl.
The app reads the siding of each wall (the white dashed lines) and takes the lens from it when the photo file has none. A wall whose grid does not run with its siding turns amber, and its windows get no verdict.
A corner you cannot see — a wall that sticks out, seen straight on, hides its sides: tap the dot on that edge, then Hidden corner. It becomes 2 dots on the same edge: put each one on the siding course of its own wall, at the same height. The app reads how far the wall in front sits, and the two hidden corners of a wall must agree.
A flat wall? Just tap Next.
Grid on: each window stays square with the wall. Drag a corner, or the bar in the middle of a side to move just that line onto the frame.
Grid off: each corner moves on its own (for a window that is not in the wall plane).
The photo never gives the size to order — only the tape does. The range is what the photo can promise.
Measure the windows on a photo of a wall and compare them with the sheet. Best photo: lens 1× (not 0.5×), the whole wall in the photo, standing back and a little to one side.
