Sto Panelizer User Interface

Purpose: This interface represents the main user environment for configuring and managing all project information. It provides access to essential navigation elements, settings, project metadata, and support tools. The top level navigation bar (3–7) allows to move between major workflow stages such as Settings, Floors, Elevation, Solution, and Estimation, while the secondary level navigation bar (8) organizes all configuration steps within the Settings section. Together, these navigation layers helps efficiently move between sections, update data, and monitor project details throughout the project lifecycle.

Home/Project Overview (1): This icon helps returns to the main dashboard or home view, allowing quick navigation back to the list of projects or general workspace.

Project Title (2): Displays the current project name, helping to always know which project is being edited or reviewed.

Settings (3): It highlights and indicates the settings section which contain all configuration options such as project info, client info, dimensions, panel sizes, and more Settings Overview.

Floors (4): It helps create and manage the building’s floor levels. This step establishes the basic structure of the building before moving into elevations and panel generation Floors Overview.

Elevation (5): It takes to the section where you prepare the building’s exterior elevations. Here, you confirm floor heights, define facade boundaries, and organize the elevation layout that will later be used for generating panels Elevation Overview.

Solution (6): It opens the area where the system processes inputs and generates the panel layout for the entire project. This view allows to review how the elevations are broken down into individual panels before moving on to estimation.

Estimation (7): It Estimation tab provides a detailed cost overview based on selected panel types, pricing levels, and project configuration. It summarizes quantities, materials, and total project cost, helping validate the financial impact of the design choices.

Secondary Level Navigation Bar (8): This bar provides quick access to all the configuration steps within the Settings section, such as Project Info, Client Info, Dimensions, Panel Sizes, Panel Types, Pricing, Scheduling, and CSV Export. It helps move between setup stages efficiently. Each of these areas is explained in detail in the Settings Overview section Settings Overview.

Project Price (9):  It displays the total project cost or price based on the data entered throughout the workflow. It updates automatically as dimensions, panel types, and other project inputs are adjusted, giving a quick snapshot of the current estimated value Settings: Pricing.

Panel count (10): It shows the total number of panels generated for the project. It updates in real time as floorplans, elevations, and design settings are modified, helping keep track of how many panels are included in the final solution.

Export button (11): It allows to download key project information in several formats for documentation, sharing, or further processing. Helps export comprehensive project data as a JSON file, open a web‑based summary of the project, download panel list details and scheduling information as CSV spreadsheets, and retrieve elevation drawings as DXF files for use in CAD applications. This gives quick access to all essential project outputs in one place.

Guide/Help button (12): Opens the in‑app guide, offering quick explanations and contextual help for the current section working in. It gives quick access to guidance without leaving the interface.

Support chat (13): It provides instant help directly within the interface. By opening the chat, helps select the relevant StoPanel product and receive guided support, making it easy to get answers without leaving the project. The chat also allows to send documents or images (1), making it easier to share context and get more accurate support.

Floors

The Floors section allows to define and manage the layout and structure of each building level in the project. It provides two main workspaces Floorplan Floors: Floorplan and Stacking Floors: Stacking which together establish the building geometry used in Elevation, Solution, and Estimation. This section helps create floor outlines, adjust heights, align floors, and update the overall building model. Additional tools on both sides of the interface support drawing, measurement, navigation, and visibility control, helping refine each level efficiently. Any modification made within this section must be applied using the Update model button to ensure the 3D model remains synchronized with changes.
