I have been using an old ruby script to generate cut lists. This had all sorts of problems in that it wouldn't group components together or give the dimensions in a sensible order.
Today I found an improved version of this script that I thought others might appreciate.
You can download it here:
http://sketchup-pro-groups.googlegroups.com/web/CutListAndMaterials32.zip
When you unzip it, make sure you use the folder names stored in the zip file.
It will list sheet goods separately if you apply a material to them that includes the word "plywood", "sheet" or "veneer".
It sorts the dimensions to give consistent lengths, widths and thicknesses.
It can list parts (such as screws, dowels etc) separately, if you give them a component name with the word "part" in it.
The only downside is that it lists imperial volumes in board feet, but I have modified my version to the more UK friendly cubic feet. (pm me if you want this version)
There is a discussion about this script, showing a version history here:
