receiving a selected assembly comprising one of the plurality of assemblies selected by a user; causing the user terminal to display a sample image of the selected assembly and an input screen for dimensions of the selected assembly; and generating a material cutout layout based on an input value inputted into the input screen and causing the user terminal to display the material cutout layout. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The assembly fabrication assisting method according to claim 1, further comprising: modifying the sample image displayed on the user terminal based on an input value inputted into the input screen. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The assembly fabrication assisting method according to claim 1, further comprising: receiving an edit made by the user for the material cutout layout. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The assembly fabrication assisting method according to claim 1, further comprising: receiving an operation performed by the user for setting a surplus member region in the material cutout layout and modifying the input value based on the surplus member region. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The assembly fabrication assisting method according to claim 4, further comprising: receiving a request made by the user to modify a plurality of input values including the input value, wherein modifying the input value is executed to modify the input value in response to the request made by the user. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The assembly fabrication assisting method according to claim 1, wherein when the selected assembly includes an accommodation part, the input screen includes a selection button for selecting either a standard of internal dimension or a standard of external dimension. ### Claim 7 An assembly fabrication assisting method executed by a computer, the assembly fabrication assisting method comprising: causing a user terminal to display a plurality of assemblies thereon; receiving a selected assembly comprising one of the plurality of assemblies selected by a user; causing the user terminal to display a sample image of the selected assembly and an input screen for dimensions of the selected assembly; and calculating an amount of paint in accordance with an area of painting and causing the user terminal to display the amount of paint. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The assembly fabrication assisting method according to claim 1, further comprising: transmitting to the user terminal a manual regarding a method of fabricating the one selected from the plurality of assemblies by the user. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The assembly fabrication assisting method according to claim 1, further comprising: calculating a total weight of members required to fabricate the selected assembly and notifying the user terminal of the total weight. ### Claim 10 An assembly fabrication assisting method executed by a computer, the assembly fabrication assisting method comprising: causing a user terminal to display a plurality of assemblies thereon; receiving a selected assembly comprising one of the plurality of assemblies selected by a user; causing the user terminal to display a sample image of the selected assembly and an input screen for dimensions of the selected assembly; and transmitting data regarding a material cutout layout to a terminal belonging to a processing business operator; and transmitting a notification indicating completion of cutting of members required to fabricate the selected assembly to the user terminal in response to reception of the notification. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) A non-transitory computer readable medium including a program causing a computer to execute the assembly fabrication assisting method recited in claim 1. ### Claim 12 An assembly fabrication assisting system comprising: a first display control portion causing a user terminal to display a plurality of assemblies; a second display control portion causing the user terminal to display a sample image of one assembly selected by a user from among the plurality of assemblies and an input screen for dimensions of the selected assembly; and a server having a control part generating a material cutout layout based on an input value inputted into the input screen and causing the user terminal to display the material cutout layout.
