With the new Sketchup release (4.0), it contains the ability to use a scripting language (Ruby) to extend the product and automate tasks.

I'm VERY new to Ruby, but yesterday I spent most of the day writing a script that will draw a base cabinet based on user supplied values (height, depth, width, material thickmess, etc.) and also apply a face frame based on your specs. (So, counting today, I've been coding with Ruby for 2 days!!)

You have to have Sketchup to install and run it, but it's pretty cool.

See the script here: http://www.sketchup.com/forum/read.php?f=6&i=230&t=230.

If you want to know how to install it, read some of the other posts there in the Ruby forum.

Enjoy! Todd.
