OverviewAD Wood is a professional SketchUp extension built specifically for woodworkers, cabinetmakers, furniture designers, and millwork professionals. It adds specialized tools for creating cabinets and panels, applying materials and grain direction, adding doors, hardware and assemblies, and defining joinery and machining operations—all while keeping the familiar, intuitive SketchUp modeling environment.
AD Wood connects design with production by allowing users to work from a single SketchUp model throughout the project. Generate bills of materials, calculate project costs, prepare drawings, define drilling, grooves and other machining operations, and export manufacturing data for CNC production. By bringing design, estimating and fabrication preparation together in one workflow, AD Wood helps woodworking professionals move faster from initial concept to finished product.

Panel, Cabinet and Modular Construction Turn basic SketchUp geometry into accurately organized woodworking components. Panels can be generated directly or created from a face, selection or existing instance, helping users convert early design geometry into fabrication-ready parts without interrupting the modeling process. Dedicated controls assist with flush positioning, assembly gaps, panel naming, grain direction and veneering. The cabinetmaking toolset supports the creation of cabinets, cabinet doors, internal panels, sub-assemblies and reusable modular structures.

Solid Wood, Joinery, Hardware and Machining Create timber components from faces, selections or instances. Specialized tools accelerate the construction of tenon-and-mortise joints, notches, miter cuts, tongues and grooves. Because joinery can be developed alongside the overall design, potential conflicts become easier to identify before material reaches the machine or workbench. The hardware workflow includes tools for assemblies, parametric fittings and screws, along with commands for quickly modifying or removing those elements. This supports cleaner revisions when dimensions, door arrangements or fitting selections change. Machining functions cover moldings, grooves, drilling, System 32 hole patterns, circular-saw operations and notching. The resulting model can therefore communicate more than exterior form: it can capture the operations needed to construct the finished object. |

CNC Preparation, Documentation and Flexible Modeling Standardize the handoff from the SketchUp model to downstream workshop processes with AD Wood's tools for establishing a CNC machine origin, storing project information, producing reports and preparing machining exports. An export-to-LayOut function supports the creation of coordinated presentation and documentation materials.
