      The other Cut List plugin won't export DXF files but it will do SVG files which could be converted. It'll handle metric units and to a degree allow you to specify sheet sizes. Thickness for sheet materials is driven by the thickness of the components in your model.

        Have you checked out the other project, cutlist? http://lumberjocks.com/daltxguy/blog/5143

        In fact : yes I did.
        It does some of the things on my wishlist but I have to choose from a pre defined set of dimensions. At the board I have to choose from 5 pre sets. I would be nice if it was possible to determine these in a settings file/section. Or to read those from a seperate materiallist :
        Sheets:
        mdf, 1200x2500
        plywood, 130x1300
        Boards:
        oak, 75x150
        oak, 75x100

        No free input of non standard or national / local wood dimensions.

        It works well I must admit but I miss the "universality".

        Best regards,

          Since I am not a native speaker I have some time problems to see fully through the abilities of a program

          I build bunk beds out of the available stock my wood wholesaler has.

          He has beams and battens with the desired measurements in certain lengths, certain wooden panels in specific measurements, and certain floorboards.

          After I have completed a construction with sketch up I would love to just generate an automated shopping list, which tells me how many beams of that length I have to buy, how many floorboards and so on.

          For that, the plugin must allow me to put in the specific stock my wood wholesaler has.
          Best would be if I could as well assign prices.
          That way it could show me as well how expensive the construction will be.

          And I should be able to save the List of specific stock somehow, so I don't have to punch it in again for each new construction.

          Right now I use the cut list plugin of Steve Racz as German translation of Eichenherz
          It helps to see a list of needed Material.
          But then I still have to go through each little batten to see how much I have to buy of what stock...

          If someone knows if there is a list generating plugin like this available somewhere, please let me know

          Thanks a lot
          Florian

            You could export a CSV file from the cutList plugin and open it in a spreadsheet application in which you add the maths required to calculate the number of pieces you'll need to buy and the cost. It seems to me that this route would give you the best options for customizing the results.

              I need these changes:
              Properly measure the object diagonally.
              Measuring objects in centimeters or meters.
              I need to know in which layer each object is located.
              If it were possible to select which fields of information the list would be exported would be great.

                The author of the plugin has stated he doesn't have time to make any changes but he's stated, above, that the project is hosted on github. Perhaps you can find someone to hire to make the changes/additions you'd like to have.

                  I can't get the Materials column to list any names. I made a sheet of 4'x8' plywood, then turned it into a component and named it Ply, then I added a material called "Plywood" but it doesn't print in Cutlister it just says N/A. The other columns work fine.

                  Using Cutlister 4.1

                    I think you're referring to a different plugin, Mike.

                    Would you share your SKP file with me? Send it by PM if you wish and I'll take a look.

                          I re-named the material.
