I love it best tool I ever used and i tried so many cad packages. anyway shoot me a pm and i can help you if you wish. Cutlist Plus It's the simplest and easiest one I've ever found for sheet goods optimization, works pretty well for my projects, and it's cheap (4.99/mon, 49.9/year) considering the number of sheets I've saved I've used a couple of free web-based optimizers that do a great job.

And as you know errors in parts add up! I've drawn actual full scale templates from my drawings so its critical. it could be off by a 64th of an inch (sorry i use imperial) and would not show but it will there. For example if you draw a box 2 x 2 x 2 and the part begins with ~ 2 x 2 x 2 then you did not draw your part perfect. The best part I liked is when I finish a component, I quickly select it, and run cutlist and if any of the dimensions in the part list begins with a '~' then that means your parts are not perfect to scale. It also helps to select part key words and material key words so those are grouped together in your output. Second when in the cutlist tab you must make sure the box cutlistoutput and layout output are checked to webpage. If you also assign materials to your component parts, its better. I make components and makes it easy to capture things quickly. Second you must have some parts selected to use the tool. When you go to pluggins does cutlist appear, and you should click on it and see two tabs One labeled Cutlist and one labeled layout.

Ok I'm going to ask a stupid question, but first things firs. Just for fun I ran a cutlist for the currently open file. ITs a fantasic tool to me for more catching part errors than actual laying out cutt parts but is a great tool for quick estimation of BF lumber. The one I prefer is called CutList and itвЂ™s available in the Extension Warehouse which you can access directly from SketchUpвЂ™s Window menu.
