I love the exploded, labelled parts function!
Are the bolt and cam fixings set at a particular depth? Can the user change the parameters of hinge holes etc?
Is there layered DXF output once parts nesting is complete? This would aid in creating toolpaths.
This plugin looks very well designed…well done.

You can change the parameters, and the layer name in the settings.
allow output DXF for nesting results, and DXF has been circularly interpolated.

[SketchUp]
ABF has just completed updating PEANUT 1 fitting system,
quick assembly for panel furniture installation.
All machining is done by CNC, then only edge banding and parts installing are left.
Check oy below video guys:

  • model introduction
  • marking the positon of PEANUT 1 fittings
  • marking label, nesting, printing labels
  • simulation of toolpaths running on CNC with 9drill and 12 ATC
  • simulating how to install a PEANUT 1 fitting

Hi. Thanks for sharing your video. I have just ordered my first box of peanut-1! They were unknown to me until now.
I noticed your website is in Vietnamese language.
I can’t tell if the plugin is Mac compatible?
And can i change the plugin language to English?

Any idea why the plugin doesnt export groups that have details like cutouts for back panels to slide in? It appears to only export completely flat surfaces. Is it possible to make it export all solid objects?

I expect it only exports the group bounding boxes. Maybe the author will chime in.

What version of SketchUp are you using? Your profile says 2019 Make which is impossible.

Thanks for the quick response. I must have scrolled while choosing options on the version, Sketchup Pro 2019.
I think you are right. It only will do boxes. I use a lot of mortises for easy gluing. Usually I manually rotate the parts and flatten the parts to export. I randomly decided to search the internet tonight for something to eliminate the manual steps and found this. Very promising but in my use case, I may need to wait to see if a feature is added for the inclusion of mortises.

Ciao.
È possibile avere una versione in italiano??
Grazie

Is the plugin in complete English. From your screenshots it appears to be in English, but the other videos it seems to be in Vietnamese
