Extract finds each part and generates it as its own image.

  1. Select the render, press Q and prompt Modify: “Generate a CMF mood board out of this product”.
  2. Wrap everything in a section with Shift + S, and press T to label each swatch (Canvas elements).
  3. Right-click the section, choose Export…, and send the images with the BOM CSV and ASE file (Export).

  • Extracting a palette and detecting parts are free. Each swatch and each part is a generation (Credits).
  • BOM values are estimates read from the image, not measurements. Review them with engineering.
  • The parts list holds up to 10 parts.
