There's already a good cutlist plugin though.

I have a lot of trouble designing furniture in Sketchup because there is so little control of curves. How about the SU equivalent of Beziers?
Already exists in several plugins.
I downloaded arcs.rb, do you mean this one or maybe another better one?
No, I mean Bezier.rb for one. There's also BezierSpline.

I installed it and read the tutorial. That's what I was looking for

Attached are some simple woodworking tools that I use all the time.
They are simple, Create a board - (actually a named component with all three dimensions and oriented in space.
Resize a board.
Drill tool - drills any component
Dado tool - creates a dado easily in any component.
Bring component to front. Handy to create cutting list of components.
Set component Relative. This moves a component relative to another.
Handy for arranging boards in space.I have started on a component or group stretcher that allows one to resize
say, a drawer, one direction at a time without screwing up the parts that
shouldn't change.Thanks,

Hi guys. I split the attachments and discussion of jhoutman's woodworking tools here:
I like the idea that woodworking plugins are posted in the woodworking forum, but I need to consider the overall organization of the forum first and see if there are any technical issues that arise. Any thoughts?

A router_selected_edges.rb tool. This tool would allow the user to sect a group or face, and automatically "router" the edge(s) with a choice of a multitude of existing (common) profiles of router bits.
What a time saver this would be! +1

Hi, jhoutman.
I find your plugin very useful and using it all the time. Is there a way to set default thickness and to use simple expressions in the dialog boxes?

"Board Stretcher.rb"
Now you are talking,,,,, Must have..... How many times have you work your buns off on a drawing only to have the "client" ask for it to be "just a tiny bit longer or wider"???
Gotta be easy for us low level drawers to use.... I use SU to do production drawings which gets me in the shop cutting wood. I do not do many "cosmetic" drawings.....
Board Streacher.rb.... Please
Thanks

Mike, you can stretch a board in SketchUp natively or you could use FredoScale to do it.
