    Cut List

    One word to describe it, wow!

    That made life much easier.

    Been asked by one of the neighbors to do a sewing table 8' x 8' with several cubby holes, shelving and drawers on the sides. Figured out what I needed as far as part sizes and threw it in the program.

    Why'd I wait, this long!!!!

    I designed my latest project in Sketchup and exported a cutlist. Figuring out
    the order of cuts would have been a real head scratcher without CutList. I'm
    using an old demo version that doesn't allow saves or printing. I got around
    it, though, by do a screen capture and printing it using my photo editor.

      Is 'cutList' a feature of SketchUp?
      It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

        No, it's a commercial software:

          There is a Ruby plugin for Sketchup called Cutlist and Materials. It will take the selected portions of a Sketchup drawing and create a list of components and materials with dimensions (I believe in a .csv format, which can also be imported into Excel.) The resulting file can then be imported into the commercial CutList program to create the actual cutlist. The plugin can be found here:
