Large cabinets or multiple cabinets within a run. Many of the same part repeated in my case construction when dealing with I understand making a part unique when it hasĭifferent dado placement or something like that, but I find that I have Same name for the sake of simplicity and the fact that this is how they Intervals but all the same size, I would like to be able to give them the Opposite of each other and two or more “middle partitions” at various In the same way theĬabinet case will usually have two “end partitions” that are identical but The parts are given their order and orientation. Then in the lay out phase of the frame construction Is how all of the parts will actually be labeled, and all of my frames areīutt joined (doweled) and the size of the parts usually makes the Simplicity when I send my cut list to the spreadsheet to be printed as this Say ST20, and all of my rails the same name R20. Is it possible to give all of my stiles the same name, Have stiles of the same length but different widths and rails of different Simple name “20” and the frame for that cabinet will be named 20. So “right front leg” and “left front leg” will both go on the “front leg” line of the table. At this time, CutList ignores the instance names. For example “left front leg” can be the name of an instance of the component “front leg”. I note that using the Entity Info Window you can give each instance of a component its own distinct name in SketchUp, so that a part has two names: its component name and its instance name. This would normally be sloppy SketchUp practice, as it bloats file size, but here it is needed. In this case you might want to make identical but unique Components for the distinct legs so that you can give them distinct names that CutList will sort separately. So, if you need to hand off the list to someone who will not only rough cut the parts but also do followup joinery, etc., it may matter to you that CutList put them on the same line. This makes a big difference when you are doing the joinery (don’t ask me how I know that) but is irrelevant to CutList because both legs are still the same size and come from the same component. However, if the legs are tapered, the orientation of the mortises in one front leg with respect to the taper is different for one side vs the other. They can usually be created by mirroring a single Component in appropriate directions, so CutList considers them to still be the same and puts them on a single line. A typical example is the legs of a table. However, if you scale instances (for example to create 6’ and 8’ 2x4’s from a single component) they will list on separate lines in the table because they no longer have the same exterior dimensions.Ī “gotcha” here is that mirroring a part (one kind of scaling) does not cause the two instances to get separate lines because that operation does not change the exterior dimensions. That is, all parts that are unscaled instances of the same definition will get the same name and will be aggregated on the same line of the output (unless you select tables sorted by subassembly, in which case the parts within the same subassembly will go together on one line but different subassemblies will get separate lines). It does not consider details such as joinery unless they affect the bounding box.ĬutList distinguishes between parts based on two things: the name of the ComponentDefinition and the dimensions of the specific instance’s bounding box. It is focused on the exterior dimensions (bounding box) because that is what you will need to saw out. This leads to some important observations about best modeling in SketchUp for usage of CutList that make your question not quite as dumb as it might at first sound.Īs its name suggests, CutList is geared toward planning the rough cutout of parts from stock.
