Some useful sketchup tips for estimating materials in sketchup

Ron Paulk presents an informative video that briefly explains how to estimate materials out of a 3d model generated through sketchup. Besides, Ron also shows how to create the design of his standup desk project.

 

There are two sketchup plugins like CutList for sketchup and Estimator for sketchup which are very useful for estimating materials in sketchup.

 

CutList: CutList pick the existing Sketchup selection and generates a list of the parts, their sizes and quantity of each. The plugin also can create a layout of the parts on the basis of chosen material size. The plugin can be applied for estimating materials for developing your model.

 

Estimator for SketchUp: This sketchup plugin offers a realistic estimating solution for SketchUp. Estimate can be performed by component, layer or material. Generate simple, time-saving templates and figure out the perfect project cost from initial to completion.
