# In Version 6.0

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/iciRgzSiep4?si=VbUFANUc25y5aJO1>" %}
What's New in OpenCutList 6.0.0?
{% endembed %}

## Compatibility

All new features are compatible with SketchUp 2017+.

## Export Parts

Version 6.0 introduces a smart way of exporting part drawings to:&#x20;

* 3D - **STL** or **OBJ** files.
* 2D - **SVG** or **DXF** files.

We wanted to cover different use cases, which is why exporting parts is available from several locations.

* From *Parts List* and *Part Properties* through export actions.
* From a new *Smart Export Tool*, similar to the Smart Paint and Smart Axes Tool.

### Export Actions

With export actions, you can export parts in batches, in *front* or *back side* view.

### Smart Export Tool

The Smart Export Tool is more refined. It allows you to export a single part or a face directly from the 3D model. It offers greater control over the projection plane used.

## Materials

### Material URL and Description

We have added two new attributes to materials : a **URL** and a **Description**.

<figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FQNLjgbtdvfocD3bdFXbZ%2FMaterials%20-%20URL%20Description%20Properties.png?alt=media&#x26;token=4197a358-040e-4656-ad62-ccf2bdcd9dec" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

These attributes are also displayed in the Summary of the Parts List, and you can click on the *link* icon to open the URL in your browser.

<figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FjnBZ82vRYuMFxs7Vp9u1%2FParts%20List%20-%20Material%20Url%20Drecription.png?alt=media&#x26;token=fa3bf240-89c0-4549-bc42-8752c9bd4743" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Link and Description of Material available in the Summary</p></figcaption></figure>

### Material Colors

Since version 6.0, materials are identified by a round bullet in several places : Parts List Summary, Group Headers, Cutting Diagram, Estimate, Edge Banding columns...

<div><figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FPKSP14K2Ry77kwvAbhLI%2FParts%20List%20-%20Material%20Bullets.png?alt=media&#x26;token=bf5106ef-b743-41c5-b0a6-88566bc4302c" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Parts List Summary</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2Faebi3LT6o3Vgzr2hYP9Q%2FParts%20List%20-%20Edges%20Materials%20Bullets.png?alt=media&#x26;token=6202fced-861f-47d6-bb5e-218f121e3c88" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Edge Banding Column</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The color of the material is also used to display the Edge Banding in the cutting diagram or on the labels.

<div><figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FtjKHp03s4APIBdNdfWfA%2FCuttingdiagram%20-%20Edges%20colors.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3cd1ceba-80ae-4713-97bd-e75494dec2b7" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Edge Banding in the Cutting Diagram</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FvNKwpwmLJGrmafx07xru%2FLabels%20-%20Edge%20Materials.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7ac95957-1b5b-4bd2-ae88-6b35ef0c3a82" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Parts with Edge Banding in the Label List</p></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
This information is visible on screen and on the printed document.
{% endhint %}

We have added a new option called **Hide material color** to hide the colored bullets in front of material names.

<figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FBtVrNFRcMAeJrWgFAG7k%2FCapture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202024-02-03%20a%CC%80%2015.27.44.png?alt=media&#x26;token=689dc15e-3adb-46ac-a39c-01928d3c30a3" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Hiding Color Bullets</p></figcaption></figure>

### Changing Edge Material

You can now change the material of all edges of a group in Parts List by simply editing their shared properties.

<figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2Fg7yKPNvEIpsX6crvi4xQ%2FParts%20List%20-%20Edges%20Material%20Editing.png?alt=media&#x26;token=65b56997-28b2-4b29-b906-115ba98525b6" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Parts

### Part URL

Parts have a new attribute: a **URL**. The URL could point to your suppliers on-line store.

<div><figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FIFRfiYNwYKwvnfOaXWWF%2FPart%20-%20URL%20attribute.png?alt=media&#x26;token=64483d27-dab5-4d09-bda8-d6650b37934d" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>URL in the Properties</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FGuepZZ5DA5dO5EM4xPYh%2FPart%20-%20URL%20link.png?alt=media&#x26;token=49f05f1f-f10b-4e83-b1f9-dd7d3b053227" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>URL Link in the Parts List</p></figcaption></figure></div>

## Cutting Diagrams

### Leftovers to Keep

We have added a new parameter to define the minimal size of leftovers and display them in the cutting diagram. All leftovers that are greater in both dimensions will be listed separately. The list can be hidden. The content of the list can be copied to the clipboard and pasted into the Panel Offcuts of another project.

<div><figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2Fwm6lzo4UYaWWgDunkPmH%2FCutting%20Diagrams%20-%20Leftover%20Min%20Size.png?alt=media&#x26;token=118a16ce-22c2-4049-b1ff-8fd6444985c1" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FNfxizqMVdP6dmrFR9LL2%2FCutting%20Diagrams%20-%20Leftovers.png?alt=media&#x26;token=12cb65fb-a74d-4907-8cbe-77ff1a60643b" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### Real Shape of Parts

A new setting defines how parts are displayed in the cutting diagram. The cutting diagram is computed by considering only the bounding box of parts. With this setting, the real shape of a part is placed on the cutting diagram instead of its bounding box.

<div><figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FKvhTeW19cidtPyy9WurY%2FCutting%20Diagrams%20-%20Shape%20of%20Parts%20setting.png?alt=media&#x26;token=1a841068-51ef-4300-9732-a7d8d0eedab5" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Display Front or Rear face of Parts</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FDzBHQHSg0XSC3aQDgOQH%2FCutting%20Diagrams%20-%20Shape%20of%20Parts.png?alt=media&#x26;token=562ded25-f83f-4176-be90-278473684d6c" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Parts as Displayed</p></figcaption></figure></div>

### Cutting Diagram Export

We have added a new button to export entire layout drawing to **SVG** or **DXF** files. Many options to customize the export are available. You can save the options to a preset for future use.

<div><figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2Ftsxl1XnFRpM7LKO9c7xM%2FCutting%20Diagrams%20-%20Export.png?alt=media&#x26;token=44ce6c28-c8b4-40c7-bd7a-ce979f685330" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2Ful8vJ1OEPv4lpe4ZFeWm%2FCutting%20Diagrams%20-%20Export%20DXF.png?alt=media&#x26;token=103c9c6c-dd7c-4212-9766-63006edbbb4a" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### Select Unplaced Parts

We have added a button to select all Unplaced Parts in the cutting diagram. If parts cannot be placed because they are too large to fit or because there are not enough panels for all parts, this option lets you select all the parts and see them in the Parts List. This could be useful to mark them with a  badge or change their material or properties.

<figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FuZZq7kWDDu5gZn3qUjMU%2FCutting%20Diagrams%20-%20Select%20Unplaced%20Parts.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3e025094-91ef-48aa-8a7d-b68e038186de" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Selecting Unplaced Parts</p></figcaption></figure>

## Labels

### Formula as Element

We have added a new element called **Formula** that lets you customize the content of the element with Ruby code.

<figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2Fl3muNcZat10IAKCp1epG%2FCapture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202024-02-03%20a%CC%80%2016.00.41.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7e56090d-8a15-4acb-9347-d63b2a352662" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Thumbnail as Element&#x20;

We have added a new element called **Thumbnail** that lets you preview the real front part shape.

<figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FxL8MBjkPJtjV2ghag9LG%2FLabels%20-%20Element%20Thumbnail.png?alt=media&#x26;token=62068dd5-1b8d-4d17-b510-a023bd15b1a0" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Real Shape of a Part on the Label</p></figcaption></figure>

### Remove All Elements

We have added a new button called **Remove all** to quickly clear the label layout.

<figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2F0tW2D3etUXmfqrKnFfiv%2FLabels%20-%20Remove%20All%20Button.png?alt=media&#x26;token=05b71781-e237-4751-a0f8-2d9a6de36815" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Estimate

### Material Density by Item

We have added the possibility to setup material density by standard item. In some case the material density does not help in computing the weight of a part. Because we use the bounding box of parts, the  volume of a pipe/tube is greater than the used volume of material. With this attribute, you can add the density of material by item. To be able to add a density you need to specify a size.

<figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FN1958cbBYjyXjUYYj3rV%2FEstimate%20-%20Density%20by%20Item.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3595359a-d217-44c8-b10f-e52151499f27" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Price by Length

We have added the possibility to specify the price of sheet goods and veneer by length.

<figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FYSG0gvZdt3rOpHZzZcBw%2FEstimate%20-%20Price%20by%20length.png?alt=media&#x26;token=2128c285-5a79-4372-9d3a-e49155fbba12" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Effective Volume

You can now configure materials so that they are estimated according to either the **effective volume** or **the volume of raw material required**. This allows you to compute the effective weight and cost of parts.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Be aware that if you must buy material by entire sheets/rolls or other units, the estimation by effective volume may be too optimistic!
{% endhint %}

## Settings

### Height of Table Rows

We have added an option to change the height of table rows from **Normal** to **Compact** saving a little extra space.

<div><figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FzWktTj5As0mYByuzw7Vn%2FSettings%20-%20Height%20of%20Table%20Rows.png?alt=media&#x26;token=005a6e2a-1a2f-4d0b-93c1-74826b412603" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2Ft6Sp15B3cdUCVozgQDfH%2FSettings%20-%20Height%20of%20Table%20Rows%20Normal.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5239ea0b-c059-4a1a-816e-004eb7a72956" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2F8LMcw6NuOfBfcSXi84Jw%2FSetting%20-%20Height%20of%20Table%20Rows%20Compact.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5a35a420-34be-4bdb-b8d4-3c2be9dfe1e5" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### Weight and Currency Precision

**Weight** and **Currency** numbers can have their own precision, very much like Dimensions.
