If you are a woodworker and maybe a user of the OpenCutList extension, this topic that talk about the futur of OpenCutList may interest you. OpenCutList is Open Source and Crowdfunded extension. One cool thing with SketchUp is that it’s a versatile 3D software. You can draw a building as a small f…

[image] boris.beaulant: Atualmente você já pode fazer isso através de um diagrama de corte. Mas sim, a peça deve ter a mesma espessura e ser exportada no mesmo arquivo DXF. Gostaria se pudesse compartilhar sobre essa arquitetura, preciso gerar dxf para cortar minhas peças na router, se pudess…

Thanks to the support of many OpenCutList users, we have reached the target of US $ 8000. We especially thank Jörg, who reached the finish line with all of us thanks to a double donation. Before we can publish this version 6.0, we still have a lot of work to do. We have to thoroughly test all the …

I read this whole tread with great interest. Sometimes, events just converge in time, such that it seems right to engage. Just a couple of days ago, the originators of the WikiHouse concept (they now go under the company name Open Systems Lab) I saw news about their new design-kit “Skylark”. It can …

Hi @torbjo1405 , First, I pleased to see that OpenCutList can explore new horizons with those news features. But searching the full automated process will be quite hard. Here is what I can try to export from WikiHouse SKP model with our current DEV code. The first nice thing is that most parts ar…

Exciting that you looked into your extension’s use on Wikihouse assemblies already! I think your pictures are at least a proof of concept. Disclaimer, I am not closely engaged with the current (if ever) nitty-gritty details of Wikihouse design and manufacturing. I only offer my impressions from the…

[image] torbjo1405: I think the diagonal layout of parts that are off axis is unfortunate. Could you maybe rotate the parts until its longest edge aligns with its bounding box? OpenCutList embed a tool to change component axes along longest edge with the Adapt Axes . More generally the WikiHo…

I have looked closer at the Wikihouse Sketchup model myself, and I am astonished! It consists of remarkable bad geometry, at least it is way to much of it, that’s why it’s 69MB. The blender file is even worse (240MB+), and the IFC file is utterly rubbish. The Sketchup model could need some love. It…

An idea for some future minor update. AFAIU due to Sketchup limitations you won’t be able to automatically align efficiently non-rectangular details for cutting. So maybe it is worth to add an option to place those (non rectangular) details separately? Then we could get automatic cutting diagram for…

Also I have a feature idea related to the main topic of 6.0 update - DXF export. The concept is to add an option for grain direction reflection in resulted DXF. Often the resulted DXF will be further edited using special software or manually to achieve proper details layout. If edited manually some…

This will be possible because you can easily select only a set of “rectangular” part to compute cutting diagram. And export the rest to separated files that you can “arrange” with your favorite external tool.
