CabinetOS

An extension for SketchUp

Draw it in SketchUp. Cut it with CabinetOS.

CabinetOS Units draws every CabinetOS unit in SketchUp, board by board, at the sizes CabinetOS cuts. When the design is right, send it to CabinetOS and the cut list, board layout and quote are ready.

Included in Pro, Studio and Enterprise, and in the 14-day free trial. SketchUp 2017 or newer, Windows and Mac.

Every CabinetOS unit, board by board

Pick a unit, type the sizes and it's drawn in your model: every board its own component, at its true cut size. Drawn here at one scale.

  • Wardrobe

    Doors, shelves, single or double rail, drawers inside or below, a divider.

  • Combined unit

    A wardrobe with a top box over it, one or two rows of doors.

  • Wall unit

    Hung at its height from the floor, doors and shelves.

  • Chest of drawers

    Drawers each their own height, a worktop with its overhangs.

  • TV unit

    Open or with doors, a worktop, sized to the TV.

  • Alcove unit

    A cupboard and shelves beside a chimney breast, floor to ceiling.

  • Night stand

    Drawers under a worktop, open shelves or a door below.

  • Angled unit

    Under a sloped ceiling, with or without a flat top, doors cut to the slope.

And single parts: plinths, top infills, side panels, doors, shaker doors, slatted panels and base frames.

Built the way CabinetOS builds it

The extension runs the same sums as CabinetOS, so a side, a shelf or a door in SketchUp is the size CabinetOS cuts.

  • Every board its own component

    Named, at its cut size, on its own material. OpenCutList reads it straight away.

  • Change a size, every part follows

    The panel stays open: type a new width and the whole unit rebuilds, in one undo.

  • Doors open, drawers slide out

    Doors swing on their hinge side and drawers come out with their box, so you can show the client the inside.

  • The details CabinetOS has

    Shaker doors, drawers each their own height, push to open, dividers, outer side panels and scribe fillers.

  • Tags for each unit

    Each unit gets its own tag folder: hide one unit's doors, or a whole unit, in one click.

  • Presets

    Start from a wardrobe, a loft unit or a bedside, or save your own set-ups.

77,102 checks before every release compare each board the extension draws with the CabinetOS cut list.

When the design is right, the units go to your CabinetOS account as a new project. Your SketchUp model doesn't change.

    The window lists them left to right, says what CabinetOS does differently and checks your plan's limits.

  3. 3

    Open it in CabinetOS

    The project opens with its cut list, board layout, price and documents, ready for the cutting company.

Questions

Does it work without internet?

Yes. It checks your plan every 12 hours when it can, and keeps working for 7 days without a connection. Sending to CabinetOS needs the internet.

What happens to my units if my plan ends?

They stay in your models, with their doors, tags and OpenCutList materials. Drawing new units and changing them needs Pro, Studio, Enterprise or the trial.

Does sending change my SketchUp model?

No. It makes a new project in CabinetOS. Send again after a change and you get another project; the first one stays as it was.

Which SketchUp does it need?

SketchUp 2017 or newer on Windows or Mac. Not SketchUp for Web or iPad: they don't run extensions.

Is the extension in English only?

Its panel is in English for now. CabinetOS, where the cut list opens, is in English and Polish.

Can I use it without CabinetOS?

It is part of a CabinetOS plan: you sign in with your CabinetOS account, and the free trial lets you try both.
