Hi, i run a small metalwork fabrication workshop manufacturing products like gates railings etc. from 6m lengths of tubular and round bar metal lengths. I am looking for a plugin than can give me a bill of materials that i can send to excel and add information such as price per meter and mass per meter

Thanks Dave. I'm aware of those methods, was looking for a shortcut to streamline things.I have saved various steel sections in my component browser and just drag them in.While on the subject, when i do my cutlist report it gives me the material code as i have saved it and the lengths to cut.Is there any way can add another two columns to assign a price and a mass to each steel section that can be included in the report or perhaps a complete new plugin i can use.
Thanks Carl

Thanks Dan, remember i'm a newbie.can you explain a little More.I tried drawing a rectangle,rotating it to 45* and placing it the intersection and using the trim tool, but it won't select the rectangle to trim.
Thanks Carl

Hi i run a small metal fabricating workshop and use sketchup for doing my designs and workshop drawings and then use cutlist for a list of materials to be cut.Lets say i'm fabricating a 1m x 1m square frame from 25mm square tube it works fine if the 4 intersections are butt joints ,it produces a cutlist with the 4 separate pieces with dimensions in the report.If i draw the same square frame with mitred intersections using the follow me tool the cutlist report shows it as one piece. Any ideas on how to show the report as 4 separate pieces with dimensions of each
