Saw / Cut List

Cut list grouped by section size and grade, with stock-length grouping and drop/remnant footage. Formatted for a man at a saw, not for an office.

Sample output — layout representative, numbers illustrative. Your job's data fills it.

Who it's for
The saw operator.
What's in it
Section size and grade groups · cut length and quantity per group · marks covered by each cut · stock-length grouping · drop/remnant footage per stock.
Why it exists
SDS2 ships plate reports by thickness and hole size — nothing formatted for a saw or beam line. The equivalent Tekla sawing list is the #2 report template in the entire Tekla Warehouse.
How it's built
Built on MemberMaterial.Material.SubMaterial — length, grade, section size, and quantity, straight from the model.
