Question on Materials
-
Probably making this more difficult than it needs to be but . . .
I just start futzing around with "Cutlist" and noticed that it will include a material name in the listing as well as a material type which it picks out when "sheetgood" is used in the description of the material. My question is where do I enter this material description?

In the SU Material Browser, I believe.

The material name in the far right column does come from the Material name. You can of course apply any material or color and change its name as desired. If you add any of the Sheet Material words to the component's Definition Name, this will cause the plugin to sort the component into the sheet goods section and give you square foot calculations instead of board feet.

I was making it more complicated. Just applying a material to the components gets that info into Cut List. Had to create some sheet good materials into a personal materials folder and its now cookin with gas.
