Cut lists and cutting plans for SketchUp Free

SketchUp Free cannot install extensions. SawWise bridges that gap: save your .skp file, import it here, and turn it into a checked parts list, shopping list, timber plan and sheet layout.

Have a paid version of SketchUp? OpenCutList is likely a better fit. SawWise is aimed at SketchUp Free users who cannot add extensions.

From model to workshop

More useful than a list of dimensions

SketchUp Free gives you the model but cannot run a cut-list extension. SawWise imports the saved model and connects its parts to purchasable stock and a practical sequence of cuts.

Cut list

Review every detected part with its quantity, finished dimensions, material and confidence.

Bill of materials and shopping list

Translate model parts into the timber boards and sheet goods you need to buy or supply.

Cutting plans

See board allocations, sheet layouts, ordered guillotine cuts, kerf and useful offcuts.

Straightforward workflow

Four steps to a plan you can check

SawWise is a planning aid, not an automatic sign-off. It makes assumptions visible so you can verify them before buying material or switching on a saw.

Read the complete workflow

01
Prepare and save your model
In SketchUp Free, make each physical part a named group or component, then save the .skp file.
02
Open the model in SawWise
Choose your saved .skp file. Your browser reads it locally without sending it to a server.
03
Review parts and materials
Confirm classifications, quantities, grain direction, stock choices and kerf.
04
Buy, print and cut
Use the shopping list and checked cutting plans as practical workshop aids.

Your model stays on your device

SawWise reads the SketchUp file locally in your browser without sending it to a server. There is no account or project subscription.

Designed for real stock

Choose available timber lengths and sheet sizes, set kerf, reuse offcuts and see unresolved parts before ordering.

Clear about its limits

SawWise works best with rectangular parts and does not infer joinery, machining allowances, defects or structural safety.

Quick answers for the cut in front of you

A few calculations I never remember

Work out a French-cleat fence setting, evenly space a row of items, or size inset and overlay cabinet doors from the measurements in front of you.
