Wassup Jay. I meant to comment a few days ago. It was super nice to meet you and the family last weekend. I've never gotten into woodworking (and probably never will, as my passion is software development), but I'm happy to support the channel. You have a beautiful family and I'm glad our paths crossed even if it was brief.

[@JayBates2]

Was great to meet you as well. Great conversation 👊

You are one of the best Sketchup teachers. And cnc and woodwork. 🙂

[@hansangb]

Wow. Simply wow. I hated doing this. And the M before selecting? Who knew? And I still say the "spacebar, triple click, G for component" every timeI do it. Thank you for the master class

[@GeeksWoodShop]

Nice Jay, and the enablement, and extra tip to then work large to small is a great workflow. Thanks!

[@MCsCreations]

Oh... Really interesting indeed, Jay! 😃 Thanks a bunch for the lesson! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@RobSandstromDesigns]

I'll have to give it a try.

[@DucPhan20]

Yesssss! Thank you so much! I've been learning how to lay out using your previous video and this was one of the thing I dread doing the most. This will save a ton of time!

[@RonMarshallrone]

You're awesome! I dread doing layouts to get wood costs and quotes to clients so this makes it not so bad at all and hours quicker! Thanks Jay!

[@projekt6_official]

Dude! Thanks so much for this!

[@JeffSolenberg]

EXCELLENT tip... as usual.

[@logans342]

Have you tried the cultist extension? It does all this for you

[@jefflove3049]

Unfortunately, this does not work with SketchUp for Web.

[@MrXsanders]

I have question at one point you started to move to fusion 360 from Sketchup (you sed you had background in solid works ) why you are still using SketchUp. I am a professional carpenter and use Sketchup every day for the past 5 years and I consider myself no a good level and very fast to draw stuff. But the parametric features and layout tools in fusion are superior and Im thinking to start the switch to fusion. I need advice from you Jay or some one knowledgeable in both programs. Would you switch ? (mane work kitchens café bars tables and built-in cabinets. Love your work as always cheers.

[@JayBates2]

I never moved to fusion 360. Just made one video on it. That's it. I stayed with SketchUp because is soooo much faster for me. And the way plans are made in fusion is 100% engineering style with little to no room for customization with unique views.

[@garybadger325]

What version of SketchUp are you using? What is the actual name of the extension and provided by? I have always hated the material layout and this would really help>

[@JayBates2]

Pro 2022.

[@gulzeb]

Is that Hannah Simone (Cece in New Girl)?

[@florinapostoiu]

OpenCutList, Cutting Optimization Pro, ABF, Generate Report, Wisext Report..................... Man, there are so many other options.........................!

[@brucewelty7684]

Why not one of the several cutlist extensions? No need to explode anything.

[@JayBates2]

Haven't found one that worked good enough

[@brucewelty7684]

@@JayBates2 that in itself would make a good video.

[@brucewelty7684]

@@JayBates2 I would have responded sooner but I never got the notification that you had responded.

[@mrxmry3264]

thanks to their buy now, pay forever scheme, sketchup is not an option for me.

[@JayBates2]

If it weren't for me using Layout to make plans I'd be with you. I hate the subscription model.
