i am not very good with computers either!
All of your casework is one big hunk of loose geometry. The doors are components although ths small doors for the center section all have their faces reversed.
There should be no exposed blue back faces in your model.
If you want to use Opencutlist to get useful information from your model you need to model the actual parts of the cabinets as components. Each “board” needs to be a component.
I would suggest that you at least go through the tutorials at learn.sketchup.com before you go further with your kitchen model.
Although clearly not a kitchen, this shows the idea. Every part made in the shop is created as a component.
Here’s a view of the case exploded.
Make one part, triple click, make into component, name and update.
Make next part, triple click, make component, name, update, move into position.
Repeat until you’re done.
Forgot this; when you make your part, before making it a component, all the faces should be white or a light grey. If they’re a blueish grey right click and select reverse face, then make component etc. as above.
