attached is a SU file of a sample crate. one crate is shown in an exploded view, the other assembled. the attached excel sheet shows what the cutlist plugin generates from the crate model, and below that is how my excel spreadsheet generates cutlists(This information is on sheet 3). I included the information on the dados that some of the crate panels recieve. I currently use a woodworking plugin that makes dados in components, but if that could be integrated it would be great. I didn't include information on the insides of the crate (inner boxes, foam), as I figured I'd cross that bridge when I get to it.
Let me know if this information makes sense.

I'm looking for a plugin to do what the cutlist and material plugin does, but in reverse -- take excel spreadsheet information and create components based on those dimensions. I build shipping crates and would like to be able to model them in SU without manually building all the components. Is this possible/difficult?
