The woodworkers can get rid off wasting valuable materials and shop time. The sketchup is now considered as a most trusted tool for planning, designing, problem solving, decision making for woodworkers to accomplish any woodworking project to avoid problems & costly mistakes before getting to the shop. These allow for the user to create customized “exploded” drawings that let you see each piece of an assembly using scenes and layers.Sketchup is the most powerful tool that can be utilized for multipurpose application. This add-on generates a cutlist for whatever components are selected, with plenty of options to customize the dimensions and output files.Īnother useful tool, are the scenes. It’s available via the extension warehouse at “Window > Extension Warehouse” within the program. The program I use within SketchUp is an extension called CutList. This is useful for laying out outside dimensions of pieces for a piece (such as my cabinet) for when printed pictures will be included in the plan drawings. This tool adds a visual measurement to the side of the piece for easy identification. To put labels on the pieces, use the dimension tool. The first tool to use for getting accurate measurements is the tape (T) this virtual tape measure lets you get on-screen measurements of each component. This naming ensures the program will properly identify and lay it out on sheet materials. Also, something very important for generating a cutlist, make sure each component is named appropriately for identifying it, and if it is a sheet good, add that into the name (such as MDF or plywood cabinet side). For this article, we’ll assume you have a working project with all dimensions properly entered and all pieces grouped into components.
