What I want is a easy way to get a cutlist, since that is the base for everything else in the workshop and for my offer and a good looking presentation.

Make a nice and professional presentation. Connect a faktura or database programm to your drawing so you can generate easily an offer for your client.ģ. Create a cutlist fast and easy and use this data for all your following work.Ģ. I dont have really so much time for that, but I have thought of quite a bit of details and also searched existing programs for what they can do.Īfter my opinion there are three major goals to achief:ġ. I am working on a complete furniture development system myself. I'm sure there are some things that I'm just not doing right with this program. I had some other issues with drawing this profile to begin with, but I won't get into that here. I am attaching the component, in case maybe its not just me screwing it up. Anyway, I'm wondering if the profile is screwing up the selection tool? The client is a graphic designer, so he is pretty picky about how he wants this edge. This door profile is fairly straightforward on the inside edge, but the outer edge profile that the client wants is something I will have to get a custom knife made for, for my shaper. Every time I try the left to right selection, it selects every surface and edge in the stile. Right now, the stiles and rails are 3' wide. I have a custom door profile that I am trying to make work for a customer. I understand how the left to right selection box is supposed to only select whats on the edge you are selecting, but its not working for me. I am trying to do this, and I just can's seem to get it to work. Sorry for taking this thread somewhat off topic. Just for fun, we'll make the door 3' wider to the right. Suppose you want to add 3' to the width of a door with a raised panel and cope and stick joints.

If you are using SketchUp for woodworking, you might find some useful stuff url=]here.ĭave R wrote:Are you drawing the doors as five separate pieces? Assuming you are, here are the steps. If you flip or mirror the copy, you won't have that problem. This means you'll also need to move one rail to align its ends correctly.

If the rail you didn't open for editing gets lengthened at the opposite end from the one you did edit, you rotated the copy instead of flipping it. Open the raised panel component and repeat steps 4 and 5. Get the Move tool and move the selected geometry 3' to the right.ĥ. With the Select tool, drag a left to right selection box around the right end of the rail.Ĥ. Unless they are different as in a tombstone door, they should be instances of the same component) rail component for editing.ģ. Move the right hand stile 3' to the right.Ģ. Just for fun, we'll make the door 3' wider to the right.ġ. I just need the length changed, not the scale.Īre you drawing the doors as five separate pieces? Assuming you are, here are the steps. The scale tool doesn't work for what I'm talking about, because it scales the edge profiles as well. I've been trying to figure out a good way, and everything I've tried has been extremely inefficient. Now with SU7Pro, you could make dynamic components to do the same thing although the components wouldn't be very useful for a cutlist later. A plugin would be nice for it but it is possible without. You can do this already, Sparky, using the basic SketchUp tools. That would be tremendously helpful! It would be nice to be able to make a small section of door stiles and rails for any cope and stick pattern I use, and then just be able to stretch those into whatever size door I needed.
