Hey,
I use the Dodo Workbench a lot for furniture design and needed a cut list solution for the manufacturing of the beams with little as possible wasted material.

So i created a Function "Create Cut List".

This Function can be used to create a cut list of beams created by the DODO-Workbench.
The cut list can use one or more profiles (sections/sketches).
A position number will be generated for each profile & length combination (rounded to 0.01mm).
The script will create a new spreadsheet object with each cut list.

The Option "Group Parts by Size" will count all Pieces with the same profile and Length (rounded to 0.01mm).

The Option "Use Nesting" allows to specify the maximum length of the Stock Material and allows for optimizing of the available material.
The cut Width will be added to each piece to account for the saw thickness.
The list will be separated into Sections and shows the Used Length and the Parts that can be cut from the Stock Material.
The position number of a piece will be the same on every stock material beam.

Further Information and a Video can be found in the Forum Post:

Thank you for your Work and Best Regards,
FilePhil
