Unable to use Layout within Cutlist for Sketchup

[bonesbr549]

I thought the cutlist program was free, even if using the free version of sketchup am I wrong?

Yes it's free.  Do a google and you will find it and instructions on how to install.  It's easy.  It's the basic version so not inventory managment etc but you can't beat the price.    Once you understand the concept of naming parts and assigning materials, it's a great little tool.  Like I said above I use it mainly to quickly get BF when modifying a drawing.  An example I had a client ask to modify a pie-safe from 13" wide to 16" I easily did it and quickly seen what the impact in BF of lumber was.  The second and most important is seeing where you make a mistake on aproximating dimensions.  It's easy to do, and won't show on display will show nearest measurement not actual.  IT's weird but true.  Anyway great tool!

Yay it worked! I've checked the box for SVG, the webpages boxes were already checked, then ran the app and it worked! He saved a couple files with layout plans.

Thanks man, really happy with this!

Cheers, Bob.

Glad it worked.  Check out Dave Richards blog over at FWW He's a fantastic teacher and got me from a newb to a pretty good user.  He will go out of his way to help.  Take care.

I use windows but it works both ways. 

Well, not on Mac when I tried it last year, even after talking with the developer.

I'll check the thread for updates.

That's weird, I've been using it on Mac exclusively for a couple years now. I do remember it was a bit of fiddling to get it installed in the proper folder but then again, I'm not very good with computers.
Wish I had some advice to share other than that it should work on Mac. Do try ones more, it is so worth it.
