Specifically, the "board stretcher" option. ![]() Ideally, you could control where the profile hits the wood by dragging the shape into the rough stock, thereby setting the depth and height of the cutter relative to the stock.Īnd as everyone else here has said, put me on the list of beta testers! Store anything from casing patterns to panel raises to tabletop edges and apply them to selected lines. From a library of cutters (negative shapes) or patterns (actual moldings) you could extrude shapes along lines. It would be a specialized hybrid of a components manager and a Follow Me Tool. I'm sure the skill will grow on me, but as a newbie I find the learning curve starts easy but quickly gets steep, at least for anything with delicacy or intricacy.Īnother tool I would like to see is a Molding Maker. Often I trash a work in progress because it's easier to start over than to edit. How about the SU equivalent of Beziers? I also have a lot of trouble editing what I've done. I have a lot of trouble designing furniture in Sketchup because there is so little control of curves. It would be nice to know what the final size is, not just the difference between original and final versions. Perhaps it could have better size controls as well. I'm way into the idea of a board stretcher. This coming from a former renovation contractor. ![]() Though I may not be able to afford to buy these tool (not working anymore) I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate a tool to cut down time while presenting as well as time and money saved while employees design and prepare the plan and break-down of a project. As well it's nice to show them a cabinet with knobs and pulls on without wasting 20 minutes aligning and centering them. I would be really great to be able to have tool to enable me to draw up wood project (cabinets, shelving units, etc) Right in front of a "customer" without wasting my or their time with minor detail like cosmetics of joinery and fasteners while showing them how it will be held together and well as what it will look like, should (example) a dovetail is exposed. I don't know if this is the type of suggestion you were looking for. ![]() One use could be to align drawers, doors or adjustable shelves or to align the knobs and pulls on drawer-fronts and doors. this option would also be cool with the ability of multiple axis. It would be nice to be able to take 2 or more groups and align them, like you do with fonts on a word processor, i.e.: Left, center or right align, and justify. When two groups or components are overlapping, it would be nice to have a tool that would allow the option of automatically select the type of joint (mortise and tenon, rabbit, butt, half-lap, dove-tail, etc) and thickness, spacing and depth.Ĥ.) Centering tool. Allowing the user to select the type, length and gauge of fastener as well as centering and spacing options.ģ.) Joinery. Screws, brads, nails, doweling and wafers. Something that would automatically put in, center, align and space out fasteners. This tool would automatically select the rails, top and other possible moldings and pieces, allowing the ability to un-select the ones you don't want altered, and ask "do you wish to lengthen intersecting groups/components?" It would save a lot of time.Ģ.) A fastener selection tool. ![]() However, It would be kinda cool to have a tool that would automatically adjust the length of "connecting" groups and components.Įxample: you designing a chest of drawers and in view of the available space (real world) you decide to make it wider. I think, when drawing, it's easy enough to re-adjust certain components. 1.) The "board_stretcher.rb" in real life would be as possible as anti-gravity. ![]()
