Bill of Materials
-
Hello, this is my first post. I work for a woodworking copmany that specializes in cabinetry and i make models of what to build before its built to make adjustments and such. Im fairly good and sketchup but im not a computer whiz, anything to do with programming or techinical stuff goes right over my head. What i was wondering was if there was a plugin that i could use that would create a bill of materials out of the copmonents i make.
In a perfect world it would make a list of the components names with the dimensions and number of each, with maybe being able to add rough lengths but not necessary, as well as perhaps being able to export the list into microsoft excel.
If there are any plugins that you know of out there that are similar could you please help me out? it would help a lot, ive looked everywhere i could find.
