A cutlist isn't that difficult to create by hand, but if you're modeling your projects in SketchUp, there's a far easier way By David Richards #273-Jan/Feb 2019 Issue You’ve probably already discovered that SketchUp is a great tool for designing your project. C: ProgramData SketchUp SketchUp 2017 SketchUp Plugins Look in that folder in Windows File Explorer, and make sure there is a folder called RPSIRendernXt and a file called RPSIRendernXt.rb: Note: If you don't have the View option for showing known extensions un-checked, you will just see the file as being named 'RpsIRendernXt'.
SketchUp Make 2017 is a free, easy-to-learn 3D-modeling program with a few simple tools to let you create 3D models of houses, sheds, decks, home additions, woodworking projects, and even space ships. You can add details, textures, and glass to your models, and design with dimensional accuracy. You can place your finished models in Google Earth, share them with others by posting them to the 3D Warehouse, or print hard copies. SketchUp Make 2017 is a great way to discover if 3D modeling is right for you.
With the release of SketchUp Make 2017, we've removed support for 32-bit operating systems, OpenGL 2.0, and software rendering of models (as opposed to hardware acceleration). We also removed support for OS X 10.9 (Mavericks.)
This maintenance release fixes a Windows-only bug introduced in the first release of SketchUp 2016, also known as 'M0' [version numbers 16.0.19912 (Win 64-bit); 16.0.19911 (Win 32-bit)] where uninstalling SketchUp resets your default Internet browser. To avoid running into this issue, leave SketchUp 2016 'M0' installed prior to installing this update - i.e., install SketchUp 2016 M1 over your existing version of SketchUp 2016 M0.
