Sketch-up for woodworking has gotten quite a bit of press lately both here and elsewhere. However, much of this info is scattered across multiple sources and threads.
As a newbie to Sketch-up, I thought it might be helpful to start a thread where we could all collect and discuss our favorite Sketch-up plug-ins and tutorials.
PLUG-INS: To start off, Cutlist 4.1.1 seems like a must-have though I have yet to play with it. It is discussed here for example:
- Introduce added functionality, tools, shortcust helpful for woodworkers and designers
- Provide templates for commonly uses parts and shapes
TUTORIALS: Regarding tutorials, I found the whole series of Sketchup For Woodworkers by Rob Cameron to be very helpful for beginners.
Fine HomeBuilding recommends intro tutorials by Adrian Chopra - and there seems to be some free content on YouTube
I would be interested also in more advanced tutorials highlighting different tips, techniques, and shortcuts along with more advanced usage that might be non-obvious.
