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.

Status: in build — not available to download yet. There is no file behind this page today, and a free account will not get you one. Each template is written and run in SDS2 on a real job before its download is enabled here. The weekly brief announces each one the day it ships.

Verify report output against your project documents before fabrication. Templates are original SPI work built on the verified SDS2 ModelAll field catalog — every field path they use is checked against it, never guessed.
