Paperwork Export

The paperwork export generates professional PDF documentation for your LED installation. This feature is available on the Pro plan and above.

Accessing Export

Go to File > Export Paperwork in the toolbar. The export dialog walks you through configuration before generating the PDF:

1. Paper Size — Choose your page format
2. Sections — Toggle which sections to include
3. Units — Set distance and weight units
4. Disclaimer — Review and accept
5. Export — Generate and download the PDF

Paper Size

Choose from two page formats, both in landscape orientation:

Format	Dimensions
Tabloid (default)	11 x 17 inches
A4	210 x 297 mm

The selected paper size affects page layout, content area sizing, and how diagrams scale to fit each page.

Section Toggles

Each section of the PDF can be independently enabled or disabled. The export dialog shows a checkbox for each section along with a live page count estimate:

Section	Description
Video Signal	Surfaces → Outputs → Processor signal flow
Raster Map	Surface placements with pixel offsets
LED Data	Panel data paths with string labels
LED Power	Power circuits with wattage and amperage
Physical Dimensions	Scaled layout with dimension callouts
Weight Estimate	Per-screen panel and cable weight tables
Curving Diagram	Top-down view of curved screens with junction angles and block counts
Bill of Materials	Equipment counts and cable inventory

All sections are enabled by default. A running Total Pages count updates as you toggle sections on and off. At least one section must be enabled to export.

Unit Controls

Distance and weight units can be set independently:

• Distances — Metric (mm) or Imperial (in)
• Weights — Metric (kg) or Imperial (lbs)

Both default to metric. You can mix units — for example, metric distances with imperial weights. The selected units apply throughout the entire PDF document.

What's Included

Project Summary

• Project name
• Date generated
• Overview of screens, processors, and outputs

Equipment Tables

• Processor equipment — Model, quantity, and specifications
• Panel equipment — Panel type, count per screen, and totals
• Switch equipment — Switch models and quantities

Screen Details

For each screen:

• Grid dimensions and total resolution
• Physical size
• Panel type and count
• Wiring configuration (data path and power path)
• String assignments with port labels

Cable Inventory

• Data cable list with lengths
• Trunk cable requirements
• Power distribution cabling
• Cable totals by type

Weight Estimate

For each screen:

• Panel weight table — Weight per unit and subtotal for each panel type used
• Cable weight table — Estimated data cable and power cable weights
• Grand total — Combined weight with 10% safety margin

A disclaimer notes that weights are theoretical estimates and do not include hanging hardware, rigging, or other accessories.

BOM Tables

• Complete Bill of Materials
• Equipment quantities and types
• Power consumption summary

Wiring Diagrams

• Data path visualization per screen
• Power path routing
• String-to-port assignment tables

Curving Diagrams

For screens with curving enabled, the export includes a top-down curving diagram showing:

• Panel layout visualization from above
• Junction angles between panels
• Curving block summary (4-way and 2-way block counts by angle) for panels without built-in curving mechanisms
• Radius and diameter measurements for simple mode curves

One curving diagram page is generated per curved screen.

Multi-Processor Support

The paperwork export supports projects with multiple processors. Each processor gets its own section with relevant screen assignments, string tables, and switch configurations.

PDF Layout

The document uses professional formatting with:

• Automatic pagination
• Table formatting for equipment and cable lists
• Clear section headers and page breaks
• Project branding (project name in header)

Other Export Formats

• DXF Export — Export 2D layout for CAD software (Studio plan)
• PNG Export — Render views as image files

Thumbnail Generation

When exporting or sharing, the system generates thumbnail images of your project for use in share pages and documentation previews.
