PanelCourse DC helps crews solve metal panel coursing before the first panel goes up. Get a clean start point, no corner sliver, reveal hits, and a cut list in hang order.
What it does
- Solves the start offset so the run lands full at the visible corner.
- Flags reveal hits and misses at windows, louvers, doors, heads, sills, and jambs.
- Builds a set-order cut list and hang map for the ground hand and lead hanger.
- Shows a clip-zone overlay from keyed girt spacing.
- Exports field cards, CSV cut lists, and stamped layout images from the device.
Who it is for
For panel foremen and lead hangers. Also for metal wall or IMP crews on datacenter shells, cold storage, warehouses, and plants.
Pricing
Free to start. Pro is $19.99 a month, $199 a year, or $499 once for life through Google Play Billing.
Scope
PanelCourse DC is a field layout aid. It is not the approved shop drawing, erection drawing, attachment schedule, or project spec. Confirm every module, reveal, opening, and attachment requirement against the approved documents.
FAQ
Does PanelCourse DC work without a signal?
Yes. The solver, saved elevations, hang map, and exports run on the device. The app has no backend, account, analytics, ads, cloud sync, or telemetry.
Does it size clips or fasteners for wind load?
No. Clip pattern, fastener count, structural span, and wind-load attachment come from the manufacturer's approved submittal and project documents.
Can it export the cut list?
Yes. PanelCourse DC can generate a field card, CSV cut list, and stamped layout image on the device, then hand the file to Android share.
