You’ve probably already discovered that SketchUp is a great tool for designing your project. You can sketch out your ideas to get a good feel for how they will look, making it easy for you and your client to get on the same page with a design. Once you have the model drawn, though, what next? Well, after you have the visible details worked out, you can add the joinery and other bits to the model to create a plan to take to the shop. Dave Richards, one of our resident SketchUp gurus, uses SketchUp to make the digital and printed plans for many of the projects featured in Fine Woodworking magazine.
After designing a project, many woodworkers like to have a cutlist on hand. A cutlist isn't that difficult to create by hand, but if you're modeling your projects in SketchUp, there's a far easier way. In this blog, Dave shows you how to get a cutlist out of the powerful program with only a few clicks.
