Planning the Makeover #2: SketchUp Plans - Sheet Goods & Cutoff Rack

On a long piece like this would you consider using four swivel wheels instead of two swivel and two fixed?

Jei, you can save a bit of explanation of measurements by using “dimensioning” in SketchUp. Easy to find tutorials, but essentially you select that tool, click on a corner of something for example, click on another corner along the same edge and drag the resulting measurement out to a desired location. You can right click on it and change the placement of the actual numbers also, centered inside, or outside on the edges.
I just made one of these similarly. Very useful part of the shop now.

oh i know about the dimensioning tool…i simply didn’t include it in the picture…because that would have been logical and made sense?...facepalm
Meh I’ll have to update that.

This looks good. I’m going to need to build one of these soon and I’ll probably steal your layout.

yea i realized the component issue when I was almost done, I went to modify some of the short bins and I inadvertendly changed some pieces on the large one lol, then realized “oh THAST what Make Unique is for”. I really wasn’t too worried about it since I’m used to using Cutlist Pro to generate layouts/cutlists, so I’d have to punch in the pieces manually (one of these days I’ll play with the cutlist plugin, but one thing at a time LOL) Still yea, I should clean it up esp if I’m gonna pass it around.

Oh and the overhangs are just leftover from a minor modification, I didn’t notice till you pointed it out, that am boo boo.

ahh gotcha. SKP = good, lol :)

Somehow those side panels on the tall bin I messed up, they didnt fit proper cuz they were tapered or skewed very slightly, not sure how I did that, i just deleted em an made new ones.

Man your good at spotting this little stuff, you deserve +3 slices of cake :D
