Cutlist 4.0 plugin help

[13eightyfour]

Ive just started using the cutlist 4 plugin for sketchup, Its great but im having just 1 problem im currently in the process of designing several 'mock tudor' style sheds for a friend, Im using 4x2s for the majority of the framework (because he already has a stack of them but i dont know if theres enough) The problem is the boards are all 4.8mtrs long, But cutlist only has a maximum of 3.6mtrs which isnt really very helpful.

Ive managed to edit the program to show a 4.8mtr selection, but it isnt usable as technically ive only added an option not created any specifics for it.

Im hoping someone here can help out with this if it is possible.

thanks

Hello 1384,

I suppose the limitation in the plugin is due to its target audience being cabinet and furniture maker. I'll do some checking to see if anything could be done.

Thanks for the reply dave, im a relative sketchup newbie but for everthing else ive used cutlist for its been great i really hope theres away to add what i need it would save me alot of time.

Heres a pic with what i achieved circled in red but i cant seem to add dimensions for the option and just errors if its selected.

thanks again

Hmmm...interesting. I've contacted the powers that be and asked for the possibility of an additional length option. We'll see what happens.
