Befopre I draw up plans on Sketchup for a living room wall unit/ curio cabinet, and a bedroom closet/dresser unit, I thought I might benefit from a program such as Cabinet Cruncher, as it appears that much of the work is already done for me with the different modules that can be modified exactly to my dimensions. While Cabinet Cruncher will provide me with a visual of what I am building, and a cutlist, there is no provision for grain orientation, nor a utility such as Cutlist 4.0 for optimized sheet layout.
If I simply export the cutlist from Cabinet Cruncher to Cutlist 4.0, the sheet layout won't take into consideration any grain orientation, or will it?
Once the data is exported can I associate grain orientation easily to the parts using Cutlist?
If I'm barking up the wrong tree here to get a program that will take me from a plan to a cutlist to a sheet layout, please let me know.
I'm a nube at this, so I need to keep it relatively simple.
Thanks
