Import a cut list from CSV or a spreadsheet

Already have your parts in a spreadsheet? Export it as CSV, or paste the rows straight in, and Plywise turns each row into a part or a sheet. CSV import is free.

Updated 2026-10-29

The minimum CSV

Include a header row, then one row per part. Name, length, width and quantity are enough:

name,length,width,quantity,material
Side,34.5,23.25,2,Plywood
Shelf,34.375,22,1,Plywood

Columns Plywise recognises

Headers are matched without regard to case, spaces or punctuation, so Qty, qty and QTY all work. You can also map any column by hand after pasting.

FieldHeader names
Namename, label, part, panel
Lengthlength, l, height
Widthwidth, w
Quantityquantity, qty, count
Materialmaterial
Graingrain, grain direction
Rotationrotation, rotate, allow rotation
Edge bandingtop, right, bottom, left
Unitsunit, units
Notesnotes, note

Measurements use the project's units unless a unit column says otherwise. Fractions like 23 1/4 work for inches.

Importing

  1. In Plywise, open Parts (or Stock for sheets).
  2. Choose Import CSV. On a phone, it's in the Import menu.
  3. Choose a file or paste the rows, and check the column mapping.
  4. Review the preview and import.
