# A presentation for your client and quantities for purchasing, from one model

The RENDER tab prepares presentations with cladding, roof cover, rooms and furniture; quantities and cost export as CSV.

## How do presentation and costing work?

The same steel model becomes a presentation once cladding and materials are assigned. The program recognises rooms; assign a room type and furniture is placed by rule. Quantities use net area, waste rate and unit price; where a material has no price, the program does not invent one and shows “enter price”.

1. **Assign the cladding:** Facade and roof cover with textured materials; the roof cover comes from Automatic roof.
2. **Give rooms a type:** Living, bedroom, child, study, kitchen, bath, WC, hall, pantry. Furniture is placed by rule: TV opposite the sofa, rug under the bed.
3. **Look inside:** Walk through the interior with the walk-in camera; save images at 4x resolution.
4. **Export quantities and cost:** Net m², waste (2% by default), unit price and total; saved as CSV.
5. **Share the model:** Save As GLB or QSV; images as PNG, JPG or BMP.

## Terms

- [Takeoff](https://qsteelcad.com/en/glossary#takeoff): The list of material quantities in a building. QSteelCAD calculates it from net area, waste rate and unit price, and never invents a price for a material without one.

## Frequently asked

### Do I need a separate render program?

No, the render comes from the same model on the RENDER tab. Save images as PNG, JPG or BMP.

### Where do prices in the cost calculation come from?

You enter the unit prices. Where a material has no price, the program does not guess; it shows “enter price”.

### How is furniture placed?

By room type, with rules: the TV faces and lines up with the sofa, the rug goes under the bed, doorways and clearances stay free.
