Parts list & cut list

Every model you build carries a geometry-derived parts list: a flat bill-of-materials generated directly from the 3D geometry, not hand-typed by the agent. Open it with the Parts list button (list icon) in the viewport top bar, or from the Parts list action in the chat header.

It exists to answer "what do I actually need to make this?" before you commit to fabrication or send a file downstream.

What's in each row

ColumnMeaning
IDA stable, short identifier (e.g. P03). Stays consistent as you iterate, so you can reference a part across messages.
PartThe part name the agent assigned (e.g. "left side panel").
QtyHow many identical instances of this exact part the model contains. Matching parts are grouped into one row.
DimensionsLength × Width × Thickness, in your unit system (millimetres or inches).
MaterialThe physical material (e.g. "oak", "powder-coated mild steel").
FinishThe surface finish where one was set (e.g. "matte clear").

Dimensions reflect the current parameter values, not the original prompt — drag a slider and the parts list updates to match.

CSV export

Download CSV at the bottom of the sheet exports the full list as a comma-separated file you can open in Excel, Google Sheets, or a cut-list optimiser. One row per distinct part, with the same columns plus the quantity.

Free preview vs. paid

The parts list follows the same one-time gate as CAD exports:

  • Free accounts see the first few parts (enough to judge the model's structure) with the rest blurred behind an unlock prompt.
  • Once you've topped up (minimum $10), the full list and the CSV download are unlocked for life — no per-view charge, no expiry.

Until then, the PNG screenshot and the visible preview rows stay free so you can still sanity-check the design.

What it is — and what it isn't

It is a preliminary BOM / cut list: accurate dimensions, quantities, and materials for the physical parts the agent actually modelled.

It is not a production drawing. It does not add:

  • Tolerance callouts or fit allowances.
  • Hardware schedules (screws, hinges, dowels).
  • Edging, grain direction, or veneer specifics.
  • Nesting layouts or sheet-goods optimisation.
  • CNC toolpaths or machine instructions.

Treat it as the input to those steps, not the output. For furniture and sheet-goods work, pair it with STEP/DXF for a cabinetmaker or feed the CSV into a nesting tool. For mechanical parts, verify critical tolerances in a parametric CAD tool before cutting metal.

Verify before fabrication

The list is geometry-derived, so it is exactly as correct as the model. If a panel looks too thin in the viewport, it will be too thin in the CSV too. Walk the dimensions against your real constraints (stock sizes, hardware clearances, site measurements) before ordering material.
