    Default Using Sketchup as layout tool

    Hi All,

    Has anybody used Sketchup to find the most efficent way to cut frames for a boat out of a sheet of ply. Or does anyone know of a tool that can do this.

    I have 2 sheets of 1200x2400 Hoop pine marine ply and want to keep wastage to a minimum.

    Can anyone help me with this.

    Cheers

    Michael.
