Hi. I'm trying to learn sketch up, and also make use of some models that I've found or been sent.
The cut list is working fairly well (I'm getting a list), but the cutting diagram is not working.
Part of this has to do with the fact that I use a mac, and there is an issue with web-based output with sketch up, but even when I export the drawings (SVGs) I'm not getting the parts output on sheets.
So, I've done some reading, and apparently the parts need to be made into components. I did that, and then added words like PLYWOOD to the description, thinking that would get the app to recognize the sheet goods.
I keep getting layouts that have boards, but not sheet goods.
Thinking that this had to do with the model I was given, I decided to make my own sketchup file, with only 3/4" sheet goods. Still no luck.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Tom
