I have cutlist but its limitied to 12 foot lengths and seems to not like the larger projects.

Thank you Tig. One work around is to create a second skp file for a take off and move all diagonally arranged members to a horizontal plane and then run the script. Or.. knowing in advance I can note the measurements in the discription pane of the component creation dialog which will be listed in the csv. Maybe I can learn ruby scripting.

I was attempting to make a materials list from the component report.rb. The csv file is great and lists all parts of my project in a useful manner (to me) if they are oriented in a vertical or horizontal manner. However the diagonal members like a roof rafter are listed with only the drawings xyz axis lengths which doesnt give me a size of the object. changing the objects axis doesn't seem to help. I realize I am probably using this rb for other than which it was intended. Is there an alternative solution to gather the information I am seeking?
What I would like is a report that generates a list of objects, their total instances and their overall dimensions for a materials list.
Componentreport.rb is almost everything I need.

Thanks Eric

very cool, thanks!

As always , your help is very appreciated.

Ah, for euro cabinets only.

I edited my previous post as after reading it I thought it seemd combative and less than useful. Not my intention. I'm always interested in new ruby scripts.

I don't know much about building a ruby script but I do know cabinetry construction if you need input. Customization of panels, pedestals, ladders, cletes, rabbits, dados, frameless (euro) or face front styles would make the script useful. Of course if you are a cabinet maker you are probably already aware of these things.

oh..and adjustable shelves.

Thanks! Works perfectly!

Thanks...Got it...the .dat will also print to a notepad. For some reason Adobe was saying the file was damaged. (I exported it to a new location)

I know where to find the keyboard shortcuts but the list is long and cumbersome in the preferences menue. Is there a way to print a sheet of these default key entry shortcuts for a student to use for reference?
TIA

I'm intrigued by these and might make a set.

Dave you are going to make your router boss cry.

I like version 2...the low roofs would make the space useless for anything else.

Nice job on the build.

Probably easier to make the mortice perp to the leg than tenon to the cheek isn't it?
