CutList plugin for Sketchup takes your model and produces a list of all selected components/groups and their dimensions helping you determine how much of each material you need to produce your design. It also has capabilities to layout these materials on stock sizes of material.
Two ways to install:
Download the latest .rbz ( which is a zipped ruby file ) from the Sketchup extensions site http://extensions.sketchup.com/content/cutlist and install through Sketchup : Select Preferences on SketchUp Window menu (Window->Preferences), click on Extensions and select "Install Extension".
Then browse to and select the downloaded .rbz
This will automatically unzip and install all necessary files in the correct locations for the version of Sketchup you are using.
