[BETA] Furniture Tools — Cabinet & Parts Designer for SketchUp

[armenghukasyan]

Hi everyone,

As a furniture maker and workshop owner, I’ve often felt that standard 3D modeling tools force us to think in raw geometry rather than actual cabinet components. To solve this, I developed Furniture Tools — a dedicated plugin built specifically for craftsmen and small woodworking shops.

Core Concept: Design the way you build.
Every cabinet or carcass created with the plugin instantly recognizes its underlying panels, fronts, edge banding, hardware, and specifications.

Key Features in Version 1.0.0-Beta:

Cabinet & Carcass Constructor: Build custom modules with accurate panel thicknesses in seconds.

Panels & Façades: Includes support for Gola handleless profiles, doors, and filler panels.

Drawers & Hardware: Automatic depth binding and built-in hardware markers for accurate hinge/boring placement.

Edge Banding & Materials: Assign materials (EGGER, Kronospan, Cleaf, or custom) and edges directly per part; banding flows into cut lists.

Nesting Layout & Reports: Built-in part calculation, sheet nesting/cutting layout, and 1-click export to Excel.

Room Context Tools: Easily draw walls and openings to plan built-ins in context.

Multilingual UI: Available in English, Russian, German, French, and Spanish.

How to participate in Beta Testing:

Download the attached .rbz file (or grab it from the link below).

Install it via Extension Manager in SketchUp (SketchUp 2023 – 2026 supported on Windows & macOS).

Open the Furniture Tools panel from the Extensions menu and try building a module or layout

Большое спасибо за поддержку и положительные оценки проекта! Хочу сразу отметить, что плагин ещё находится в разработке и выложен на данном этапе специально для тестирования и сбора обратной связи. Основной костяк уже работает — параметрическая сборка, умная расстановка крепежа по размерам детали и объединение длинных элементов (столешницы, цоколи, профили Gola) уже функционируют, а сейчас мы дорабатываем точную присадку и экспорт под ЧПУ.Буду очень рад любым отзывам, идеям, замечаниям и тестам от коллег-мебельщиков. Если столкнетесь с багами или захотите предложить улучшение логики — пишите, давайте дорабатывать инструмент вместе!

Many thanks for the support and positive feedback on the project! I’d like to point out right away that the plugin is still under development; it has been released at this stage specifically for testing and gathering feedback. The core functionality is already in place—parametric assembly, smart fastener placement based on part dimensions, and the merging of long elements (countertops, plinths, Gola profiles) are all working—and we are currently refining precise drilling/machining data and CNC export capabilities. I would greatly appreciate any feedback, ideas, comments, or test results from fellow furniture makers. If you encounter bugs or want to suggest improvements to the logic, please get in touch—let’s refine this tool together!
