The Best SketchUp CutList Plugin | OpenCutList

OpenCutList is an awesome, free extension for SketchUp to generate cut lists and cutting diagrams for you. It's especially great for creating cabinet cut lists because it can identify plywood and arrange the parts on the sheet for you. This is a must-have extension for woodworkers.

I’ve been using this extension for quite a while and it’s fantastic, I cut every panel from the cut list diagram and the units, drawers etc go together perfectly

This extension is awesome. I can’t believe it is made available for free. Definitely support the devs by donating if you can! Thank you for the tutorial. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

Wow, thank you so much for enjoying our extension!
Well done and well explained video 👍

Great video Matt. Saw this one about 4 years ago but it was no where near this level of development then. Glad you put this one on display. Have sent a link to various people I know who might need this.

Thanks, Matt. This is good stuff to know. Of course I had planned to do other things this weekend before I found this new SketchUp plugin to play with.

Brilliant, Matt. I’ve been looking for a replacement to my old cut-list generator (itemiser), the company folded years back and I managed to accidentally delete from my system. Cheers for bringing this extension to my attention bud.

It's free for SketchUp Pro, which runs $300/yr. I can already create a full model in the free version of SketchUp. This looks like an awesome plugin and would save me some time, but its practical cost to me is $300/yr (which is pretty steep for a hobbyist) - unless there's some way to use it on the free version of SketchUp?

So much useful information, thank you for making this video man. Greetings from Aruba!

[AnbuSketchYouTubeChannel]

can you make video about edge-bonding options on how to use it? thanks

[KomarProject]

This is super useful. Great explanation man. Thank you

Wow. My mind is blown.
I'm a design engineer, and have had access to various CAD software since college. Currently I'm on Inventor, and I model up my projects before making them... but I have to change various iProperties of each component, usually including the size in their name so that when i create a BOM i can figure up how much of a sheet / board each component will use.

i.e. if I have 4 5ft boards, 8 2ft boards, then I have to think in my head "OK, I can get 1 long board, and 1 short board out of an 8ft 2x4 so 4 of those will take care of all long boards, and leave me with 4 short boards, which is 1 more 8 foot 2x4.... so I need 5 2x4s. Easy on something that simple, but gets time consuming and prone to error pretty quickly.

Outside of learning how to model in SketchUp (which looks pretty intuitive and wouldn't take long), this is so much easier and convenient to create you BOM. Then you throw the actual cut list on top of that? This is amazing. How have I never heard of this software until like a few weeks ago? I've designed a fence for about 1/2 anchor, numerous shelves, a few work benches, etc.

Obviously Inventor is more powerful and suited to a different level of design... and maybe there are plugins/extensions for it to make it better suited to wood, and especially cut sheets... but thats my employers software and plugins, etc are handled by them. I'm 100% getting this for my personal set up and projects. Thank you for the explanation!

I’ve been using this, actually simple to use.

I find the application very good for wood production, I want to promote this application to users in Vietnam

[toddthetoolman]

Thank you that was great, love your energy and clear explanations!

One click cabinet plugins, is better than ocl, it also can generate gcode for cnc cut and drill, and six sided boring

[waynechris]

Wonderful tutorial. And I use the software too... Super awesome!
