In my door scripts I create door stiles and rails as vertical members. Then I rotate rails and move them into position. This way I can use vertical wood grain for all door members. When I want to create a list of materials for a program like cut list or Cut Master I simply look at the component axis and determine Length, Width and Thickness. I used to have vertical and horizontal wood grain textures but I find a lot of advantages doing it this way (textures are half the size, skp files are smaller etc..)

Thank you sancho, they'll come in very handy, I think the RAL's will be most useful.

A bit late here, I have just found the thread. Thank you for the gift you have made. It is very generous of you.

dynamic texture or seamless texture?

nice

Thanks for input , but it does not support grain direction. Thanks!

Yea, I agree... but still - well organised component!

this plugin. redraw_group.zip

Joe Zeh's Cutlist Bridge can probably do what you want - it's purpose is to create a file for use by Cutlist Plus. It can be overkill for simpler needs because you have to enter a lot of info into the model, but I believe it handles grain orientation and materials among other things.
