The toolbar features four icons. Clicking on these icons will open:
the , which can be minimized or maximized.
the , an on-screen tool to apply or remove material to components.
the , an on-screen tool to relocate the local axes of components without having to open the definition.
the an on-screen tool to export 2D projection or 3D geometry of a single part.
The minimized window of OpenCutList displays four buttons:
Maximize/Minimize: to show/hide the result window. To minimize the window and get it of your way, simply hit the <ESC> button.
When maximized, the toolbar has two additional buttons.
Doc.: a direct link to open this documentation in your browser.
More: displays a ribbon with more links (some may depend on your language):
Tutorials: displays a list of YouTube tutorials made by users.
Forum: read-only access to the OpenCollective discussion forum. If you plan to participate in discussions, you must create a free OpenCollective account.
The lower right border of the OpenCutList window displays more actions:
Report a bug: this will open your mailer to send a bug report to the developers.
Sponsor: opens a page with the current status of contributions and the next goal.
About: gives information about the developers, the translator team and the software we used to develop OpenCutList.
The Smart Axes Tool displays the dimensions of the part and an arrow on the front and back face of the selected part to help you decide if the interpretation is correct.
Changing the local axes of a component does not "change" the component or its definition.
Do not expect the part to be mirrored or rotated!
: to configure materials. This is an interface which links to the native SketchUp material. If you have already configured some material in SketchUp, it will show up here. If you add material here, it will also show up in the Materials Inspector of SketchUp.
: to compute the Parts List of a selection of components or of all visible components in the current scene.
: to import parts defined as rectangular boxes from a CSV file.
Plans: opens your browser to the model section of where users publish their creations.
News: inline access to the latest and archived news we publish on .
: starting with version 1.9 a self-updater was introduced, which updates directly from the github repository. This version is identical to the version hosted on the Extension Warehouse, it is signed by Trimble. After an upgrade, you must restart SketchUp for the new version of OpenCutList to be re-loaded.
Sponsor: we very much appreciate your financial support on . Even small contributions help us to take the time to make OpenCutList a better tool for your workshop.

to change unit, weight or language preferences.
The lets you select a tool to sample, paint or clear a component with material from a list of material.
The allows you to reposition the local axes of your components. Because OpenCutList interprets the dimensions of a part from its orientation with regard to the local axes, it is important to position them correctly. You could use SketchUp tools to perform this task, but you would then have to open the component to get to its definition.
