Is anyone familiar with this plaugin for Sketchup?

http://sketchupplugins.com/plugins/cutlist/

If install this plugin for Sketchup is this going to be able to create a cutlist from the Sketchup images?
Some of the Sketchup files show multiple images as Bill provided multiple options in the plans, will I just pick out the image that represents the option I am rolling with?



Note: For those that remember me, it took a long period of re-studying things to get to where I am with this idea. I bought my plans September of 2014. I have studied them thoroughly!!!

But I still may need some help with a cutlist!!!

I am currently planning to start with a pair of O-top 15s.

At least in my (older) plans there is already a cutlist!
For both 5 x 5 and 8 x 4 stock.
And rough sizing cutlist dimensions.
At the end of the plans.

Is that the case with your plans?

Grant, glad you are still around, and yes that is the case with my plans. I was looking for something a little more specific on the parts. Maybe I just need to take the plan with me....

Do you mean when you're building your cabs?
If so, absolutely, have your plans with you.
They are a source of constant reference, from one step to the next...

I was thinking I would have someone else cut the parts for me. I was trying to see if I get someone locally to do something similar to a "Flat PacK.

Just for side conversation, I still really want to do 6 or 8 O-Top 12 J-array cabs, but honestly 2 to 4 O-Top 15s should help open up a few more doors for me now or in the coming months....

You can only have them pre-cut to rough size.
