# Make a CMF sheet

> Pull the palette, material swatches and parts out of a final render with Extract, and lay them out as one CMF board with a BOM.

You'll end with one color, material and finish (CMF) board, plus a bill of materials (BOM) spreadsheet to send with it.

A hiking sandal CMF board: render, parts, material swatches and palette.

**You need:** the final render on a plain background with every part visible, and the finish names your factory uses.

## Steps

1. Drag from the render's **+** handle and choose [Extract](https://docs.vizcom.com/extract.md). It opens on the **Color** tab.
2. Set **Sample by** to **Subject**, then save the palette from its **...** menu: **Add to library...** or **Export as...** > **ASE**.

On the right, the same model recolored with that palette: an orange puffer, a tan sweater, mauve trousers and a blue beanie.](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx/images/examples/workflow-cmf-sheet-palette.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx\&q=85\&s=2b149438d74621506eb9de0d66e7de6c)

Edit the palette on the Color tab, then click Update colors to recolor.

3. On the **Material** tab, frame one finish, describe it in **Clarify material to generate** and click **Extract material**.
4. On the **Parts** tab, uncheck or rename parts and click **Extract N parts**, then **Export BOM** for a CSV.

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

5. Select the render, press <kbd>Q</kbd> and prompt [Modify](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/modify.md): "Generate a CMF mood board out of this product".
6. Wrap everything in a section with <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd>, and press <kbd>T</kbd> to label each swatch ([Canvas elements](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/canvas-elements.md)).
7. Right-click the section, choose **Export...**, and send the images with the BOM CSV and ASE file ([Export](https://docs.vizcom.com/export-panel.md)).

## Good to know

* Extracting a palette and detecting parts are free. Each swatch and each part is a generation ([Credits](https://docs.vizcom.com/vizcom-credits.md#modify)).
* BOM values are estimates read from the image, not measurements. Review them with engineering.
* The parts list holds up to 10 parts.
