Hello FilePhil, nice design ! Very interesting to learn that a cut List tool exists. I’m starting with FreeCAD. I’m particularly interested in designing and welding furniture combining steel and wood. My question: how did you design your frame ? With Dodo WB ? Do you have tutorials to recommend ?
Hey, Thank you :) Yes I used the Dodo Workbench and the Curves Workbench to create the Skeleton Lines . I recommend this great Tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/oh0OG81R8Kw/v-deo.htmlsi=Pt0SbjeAORZF7hZN
With the Curves Workbench its very Easy to Create Lines in the Correct Spots for the Profiles. At first I create Sketches for the Horizontal Elements and transfrom them to the correct hight, then use the Line Feature of the Curves Workbench to Connect the Points of the Sketches. Then I create the Profiles and Wooden Parts using the Dodo Workbench.
I would love to see a simple e2e tutorial. I have tried simple design, 2x 40x40x3mm profiles (90degrees joint) created in dodo. So cut list should be 2x 40x40x3mm, length 1000mm but I was not able to get it working :( But is see in your video it should work...
Hey, maybe you have installed a Freecad Build with Python Version < 3.9, this causes the Script to Gail. I uploaded a potential fix, but have not tested it myself.

Joko Engineeringhelp, has a great Video Tutorial for the Dodo Workbench: ua-cam.com/video/oh0OG81R8Kw/v-deo.htmlsi=nVrwfJ22C8vAi_S1
