Steps

  1. Open Layout. Set each room's origin wall and pile first; the offcuts follow from them.
  2. The Offcuts panel lists every offcut and the room it comes from.
  3. Drag an offcut from the panel onto a room that needs carpet. It snaps in, and the total drops.
  4. Or click Place in… on the offcut card and pick the room. No fit means it fits nowhere.
  5. The card shrinks to what is left of the piece, and the fill is listed under Placed.
  6. Pile running the wrong way gets a warning: Place anyway, or Cancel.
  7. To take a fill back out, click × on its row under Placed.
  8. Watch the header: Total lineal metres goes down and Saved goes up.
