In addition, you can use a cut list such as shown in either CutList Plus fx, Excel or OpenOffice, and sort columns alphabetically. Since the component name has the cabinet number, type (upper or base) and sub-assembly (B for box, D for door etc.) built right into it, you can use the Outliner dialog box to select all parts with a cabinet number, type or sub-assembly or a combination of these designators.

I like to precede layer name with Upper or Base to specify an upper cabinet or a base cabinet. Since there are almost always numerous components of the same type on a layer, the layer names would be plural. Having a prefix such as this allows you to locate and use parts efficiently.Д¬reate layers for base cabinets, base doors, base drawers and so on to keep your model tidy and to end up with a clean cutlist.Д¬ustom cabinet sub-assembly names might typically be box, face frame, end panel, door, drawer, toe kick (or ladder) etc. When creating cut list for a custom cabinet project you generally have a large number of parts and often you want to print out part labels.

The D signifies a door sub-assembly and the 1 means it is the 1 st door of perhaps many. The 11 means it is part of the 11 th cabinet and U means it is an upper cabinet. The leading C means this is a cabinet component. However, I like to use a component prefix that identifies a component as belonging to a specific subassembly such as вЂњC11UD1 Top Door RailвЂќ. The typical names are side, back, shelf, bottom, stile, rail, toe kick etc. NowВ I would like toВ apply those strategies to custom cabinet projects.Д¬omponent and part naming of custom cabinet parts should follow the same suggestions discussed in myВ post about furniture pieces. That post went into detail about furniture projects. In my previous post about cutlist making tips in SketchUp for woodworkers, I discussed my CutList Bridge 3 extension and strategies toВ help you organize your models. Employing simple strategies and the CutList Bridge 3 extension, you can turn your SketchUp models into organized cutlists.
