I’ve been using the CutList Bridge 5 extension with several versions of Sketchup over the years. Recently the plugin stopped working within SU2022 on macOS. I’ve tested it in SU2023 with the same results.
I noticed the latest version has finally been signed by the developer. Did it break as a result?
Anyone else experiencing issues with this plugin?
Did you try to contact the author about this?
Yes, via the Extension Warehouse contact button.
This seems to be their official website. Might be worth it to drop a line on their contact page, who knows.
Thank you. Yes, I’m exhausting every Google searchable means to reach out.
In the meantime, I’m looking for any consensus amongst the plug-in users who might be experiencing a problem while troubleshooting my installation. I’m not sure what happened.
I’ve reverted to the previous (unsigned) version of CutList Bridge 5, and it’s working again. Not sure what’s wrong with the latest signed version. Hoping Joe Zeh can give it a look.
I’ve spoken with the developer, and a fix is on the way.
God bless this community!
Your profile says you are using the SketchUp “Free Plan”. That doesn’t have any facility to use extensions at all.
As far as the most recent version of CutList Bridge, you might try contacting Joe directly. CutList Bridge
hello!
I had the same problem when changing my sketchup 2020 to version 2023, how did you fix it? Did you go back to the 2020 version of skech?
An updated extension was submitted to the warehouse last year which addressed the problem. I believe it has been corrected. Make sure you’re using the latest version, and if you’re still having issues, contact the developer for support. Good luck.
UPDATE: Nov 2024
Extension loads into SU2024pro, but I am unable to manually enter material data (key in, hit plus sign, but data will not record into materials menu, as it should at this point). The instructions to import CutList Plus fx data are dated, and the file path is no longer relevant. I have no idea how to find the Ruby plugins folder it refers to, so unable to import.
At about 24 hrs now waiting for reply from the developer. Looks like no updates since 03-2023, and am loosing hope. Contacted CutList Plus fx, and all they verified was that CutList Bridge is the ONLY way to import to thier program from Sketchup, but that they have also forwarded this info to Mr. Zeh, so I’ve got a couple paths of contact running in an attempt to resolve this.
I am surprised no one else has brought this up, so I’ll try re-installing and hope maybe I’ll get to a solution. Will update as I learn more.
Meanwhile, am I alone with this issue of compatibility with SU Pro 2024?
The Plugins folder for SketchUp 2024 will be in a similar location as for SketchUp 2022. User/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2024/
.
Hopefully you’ll hear from Joe soon.
Are you alone with this issue? Hard to say. I don’t expect there are that many using CutList Bridge in the first place. Yours is the first thread I’ve seen about it in a very long time.
BTW, please update your forum profile. It says you’re still using SU2022.
So, if I understand correctly, you’re unable to create material lists within the plugin?
And to check, have you also exported your existing lists from CLFX and tried to create lists from those exports within the plugin? To my knowledge, that feature continues to work. Is that not working as well?
As a CLFX user, if you can direct me to the instructions you’re reviewing, I’d be curious to take a closer look. I was able to contact the developer last year, and we worked through some interface issues that had broken due to changes within RUBY implementations.

Sorry I did not follow through, but here’s what I’ve found;
CLBridge lx was not “signed” for SU2024. Joe had to email a link to dropbox so I could download the 2024 version of CLBridge. Now things are working. Not sure if he’s updated the listings in the extension warehouse yet, but if you do not find a copy specifically showing a 2024 update, you’ll need to contact Joe again for a copy of this version.
So- yes, Cutlist Bridge is certainly still viable.
FWIW: the CutList team had tagged Joe when I questioned them about the issues. He had already sent an email with the update, he indicated, but I did have to request another copy for his email to come through.
