This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.
Step-by-Step: Building Your Pipe & Drape Set
Open your project, go to Contract, then click Add > Custom Item/Package. Name it (e.g., "Drape Set") and click Save.
Find the newly added custom item in the project item list. Click the three-dot menu, then choose Add Inventory Item – Package.
Scroll to Builders and select the Pipe & Drape Builder.
Enter your desired dimensions (height, width, shape, etc.), then click Calculate. The system will use your existing pipe and drape inventory to suggest exactly what you need.
Review the suggested items and optionally add extras if needed. Then click Review Selections and, when ready, click Add to Contract.
Your completed drape set now appears in the inventory list for that project. The set is assigned only to this project—it will not modify your main inventory count.
Behind the Scenes: How Calculations Work
Curious how Goodshuffle decides what you need?
Uprights: Calculated based on run width divided by spacing (e.g., 10 ft), plus one—unless your shape is "closed."
Crossbars: Derived from run width divided by spacing, doubled if the setup is “double.”
Baseplates & Basepins: Match the number of uprights.
Drape panels: Two 10-ft panels per crossbar—doubled again if “Double” type.
Pro Tips
Double-check your inventory setup—ensure you've properly added pipe & drape items (with dimensions like length, shape, height) via Inventory > Add Inventory > Pipe & Drape so the builder can pull from your stock accurately.
