Component Report

Analyzes the selection (or the whole model when nothing is selected), lists panels, solid wood, assemblies and hardware, then opens the Component Report window: cutting list, pricing, material checks and cutting plans.

How it works

1. Select the components or groups to analyze — with no selection, the whole active content of the model is processed
2. Start the tool: the scan begins and displays State and Entity: n/N in the center of the view
3. Click during the scan to interrupt it
4. Once the scan is done, the Component Report window opens automatically

The Component Report window

Title block

Header of the cutting list, printable with the Print button.

• Editable fields: Reference, Client (first / last name), Phone, Email, Address, Notes — saved in the project information
• Read-only fields: SketchUp file and Report date

Components tab

• Grid: No., Description, Type, Material, Layer, Length, Width, Thickness, Price, Quantity, Total price, Level. Columns are sortable and filterable
• Search to filter rows, with the Total price recalculated according to the current filter
• Price: double-click the cell to enter a price — it is written on the definition and propagated to every row of that definition
• Material: clicking the cell opens the boards manager on the matching material
• Rows in error: a "+" button offers to create the missing thickness, material, veneer or edge banding in the catalog; when several rows share the same issue, the fix can be applied to all of them at once
• Exports: CSV and Excel buttons in the toolbar

Display settings (gear icon)

• Unit — display unit for dimensions
• Oversize — default oversize applied to raw dimensions (5 mm by default) when no oversize is defined on the catalog board
• Raw dimensions — toggles between net sizes and cutting sizes (length and width + oversize; thickness gets none)
• Default board — length and width used when the material has no associated board
• Grouping — Group merges identical rows; the Dimensions & material, Parent and Layer criteria refine the grouping
• CSV export — destination folder for CSV exports

Cutting Plans tab

• Optimize generates the cutting plans; each source panel appears in a sub-tab with its diagram
• Optimization settings: kerf, minimum offcut dimensions, criterion (minimize waste / minimize the number of panels / balanced) and maximum optimization time

Veneers tab

• Optimize veneers computes the cutting plans for veneers and edge banding, presented the same way as the panel cutting plans

Help tab (?)

• Details the recognized component types (Panel, Solid wood, Assembly, Veneer, Edge banding, Miscellaneous), how prices are computed and the raw dimensions rule

Keys

• Left click = Interrupt the running scan
• Esc = Cancel the operation

Tips

• Select a cabinet or a sub-assembly before starting the tool to restrict the report to that part of the project
• A purchased component (handle, hinge, assembled drawer) shows up as Miscellaneous as soon as a price is set on its definition
• Fix the rows in error before optimizing: a material or a thickness missing from the catalog skews the cutting plans
• The title block is shared with the Project information tool: filling it once is enough for every report
• The window stays open while you work in SketchUp; running the tool again updates the report
