Paging @DaveR - Continuing a post from 17’ “Cutlist Sheet Words”

I am glad I found you on here! Am hoping you can assist. I’ve been trying to figure out issues with the cutlist output / layout. It is grouping my pieces that are meant to be hardwood items (3/4" Maple, per say), vs 3/4 Maple Plywood, and is grouping them all together on the layout, and vice-versa, putting pieces that are meant to be 3/4 Ply on boards…

I feel I am missing something -

Also, I tried my darnest to get the materials to show up correctly, as I have created custom materials (colors), named ("Plywood 1/8 Maple, Plywood 3/4 Maple, Hardwood 3/4 Maple, etc…) and only half seem to work most the time, and leaves a list of un assigned pieces…

All help much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

JK

Hi Jason, share the SKP file with me so I can see. And give me a list of your sheet words from the CutList UI. You can send it via a PM if you don’t want to make it public. If it’s too large to upload here, upload it to Drop Box and share the link.

Will do! I will PM it shortly, I have been deleting materials, renaming, reassigning materials, etc, trying to figure it out.

Thanks!

From the info in your PM:

Between your model and the screen shot of the front page of the UI, it’s easy to see the problem. You have the word ‘Hardwood’ as a sheet word which is an indicator to the extension to sort anything with ‘Hardwood’ in the definition name into the sheet materials section.

 ![Screenshot%20-%203_1_2019%20%2C%203_40_37%20PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/c/f/cfb59d70510850d57c3d56faa69abdc96f29cfcc.png)  
The solution would be to rename the components or remove ‘Hardwood’ from the sheet Words section.
