Exact Cut List

Model the furniture in Blender, press one button, get the list of boards to cut.

What it does

• True size at any rotation: each part is measured by the smallest box around it, not by its world-space bounding box.
• Counts what you built: linked duplicates, collection instances, geometry-node instances and every separate piece inside one object.
• Modifiers applied: Solidify, Bevel, Mirror, Array and the rest are measured as they look in the viewport.
• Groups identical parts with a quantity (tolerance 0.5 mm by default) and splits by material.
• Units: mm, cm, m, or inches with fractions (1/8 to 1/64) or decimals, at any scene unit scale.
• CSV in two flavours: comma with decimal point, or semicolon with decimal comma, ready for Excel, Google Sheets or a panel-cutting optimizer.
• Shape check: notched boards, dowels, open meshes and zero-thickness planes are flagged.
• Totals: part count, area, volume and board feet.

Tested, not guessed

An automated test suite checks the measuring code: 5,000 boards of random size at random rotations (largest error below a millionth of a millimetre), triangulated meshes, notched parts, dowels, open meshes, every 1/64" fraction from 0 to 100 inches, and full scenes inside Blender. It passes on Blender 4.2 LTS and 5.2 LTS.

Compatibility

Blender 4.2 or newer, installs as an extension. Windows, macOS and Linux. Pure Python, no external libraries. Version 1.0.0.

Limits

It reports the blank to cut; it does not draw cutting layouts (export the CSV to an optimizer). Non-mesh objects are skipped.
