Partial Fascia Estimation

Construction pros can now select specific fascia segments to include in an estimate.

Updated this week

What's new? You can now apply fascia templates to specific sections of a structure using partial fascia estimation, and fascia segments that are designed in 3D will now generate measurable estimate line items.

This update gives you more control over which fascia segments are included in your estimate, automatically calculates lineal feet based on your selections, and supports multiple fascia groupings within the same project.

Overview

Partial fascia estimation enhances how fascia is measured and estimated across Hover’s Estimate workflows. Instead of applying one fascia measurement across the entire structure, you can now select exactly which fascia segments should be included in each template grouping.

This update also impacts the 3D-to-Estimate flow. Fascia products applied in 3D can now be mapped to a template and converted directly into estimate line items with calculated quantities.

Measurements update dynamically based on your selected fascia segments. Multiple fascia groups—such as different colors and materials—are calculated independently and displayed as separate line items.


How to use it

Applying partial fascia when creating estimates from the project page

Option 1: Scoping materials in 3D

  • Start an estimate from the Estimate card on the project details page

  • Select the option to choose and scope materials in 3D - this will allow you to bulk-apply your templates

  • Choose your desired fascia template(s) from the starter template library or your custom template library, if you have previously saved templates

  • (Optional) Choose your desired templates for any other roofing or siding trades listed

  • Click Edit Selection

  • Click on the model to select or deselect specific fascia segments, then Apply

  • The linear feet will update automatically based on your selections

  • Repeat the process if you need separate fascia groupings (for example: different colors or materials).

  • Click Create Estimate

Option 2: Start from a material template

  • Start an estimate from the Estimate card on the project details page

  • Select your fascia template(s) from the starter template library or your custom template library, if you have previously saved templates

  • (Optional) Choose your desired templates for any other roofing or siding trades listed

  • At this point if you want the templates applied to all segments you can tap Create Estimate. However, if you want to assign the templates to specific segments, tap Select partial area

  • Click on either the model or the side panel to select or deselect specific fascia segments

    • The linear feet will update automatically based on your selections

  • Click Create Estimate

Applying partial fascia in the 3D-to-Estimate flow

  • Open the project in 3D mode of Workspace

  • Apply your fascia product and color to the 3D model

  • (Optional) Apply your products and colors for roofing, siding trades you'd like included in the final estimate

  • Save your 3D design

  • Tap Create Estimate, and select the appropriate fascia template when prompted

    • Most fascia products are auto-mapped to the correct template)

  • Save your selections

  • Within your estimate, fascia line items will have generated automatically with linear feet calculations based on the 3D design.

    • Each fascia grouping in 3D will appear as its own trade line in the estimate


Why this is better

Partial fascia estimation gives you precise control over what is being measured—rather than applying a single fascia total across the entire structure.

With this update:

  • Linear feet are calculated only for the fascia segments you select.

  • Multiple fascia groups can coexist within the same project and generate separate totals.

  • Fascia designed in 3D converts directly into measurable estimate line items.

  • Quantities update dynamically as selections change, reducing manual corrections.

By tying fascia measurements directly to selected model geometry, this enhancement improves accuracy, supports more complex projects, and reduces rework—making estimates more reliable and easier to validate.
