Hi, I’m new to SU and stuck at my very start of my project. My timber supplier provides fixed lengths framing timber but I will need to cut these to desired dimensions and was wondering if there is any way for SketchUp to use my custom component and show the individual pieces as I cut them, whilst…

You’re doing this in the free web version? You’ll need to do some of it manually. You might name the components based on the full length and just edit the components for length to suit. If you were using the desktop version you could use a cutlist extension to give you much of that information auto…

If you are on the free Version, you need to make each sized component ‘Unique’ and use the length as indicator of the name…

appreciate the replies guys; accept my apologies, I should have stated that I am using SketchupPro 2019 v19.3.253. CutList? Unique components ?- I already have one called “Framing Timber” and that’s one piece as supplied by the merchant , of size 75x225x4800mm - I need to know how many of them I n…

See if any of this helps… The Cutlist extension will report the Length, Width and Thickness of the components you have in the model. It also reports the number of component instances in the model that have the same definition. For this to happen you must model them accurately. From your informatio…

For simple materials where you aren’t concerned about things such as grain patterns, knots, and other flaws, you can use CutList 4.1’s Layout Output to see how your actual parts will fit into specified sizes of timber, hence how many pieces of raw stock are required. Note: despite the name, this pa…

Ian T - THANK YOU but , I still cannot get this bloody software to work., Ive attached my model, basically I have material called “Timber 3600x225x75” which is a std length of timber from my supplier.
