If you are a woodworker and maybe a user of the OpenCutList extension, this topic that talk about the futur of OpenCutList may interest you.
OpenCutList is Open Source and Crowdfunded extension.
One cool thing with SketchUp is that it’s a versatile 3D software. You can draw a building as a small furniture with the same light and powerful user interface.
In its specific domain, OpenCutList try to improve this experience for woodworkers who prefer to spend more time on modeling their projects than generating cutlist, cutting diagrams with multiple external tools.
One unified tool that keep your models as clean as possible and that do not reinvent the wheel may bring some limits in customization, but can be very helpful if you prefer to spend your time in front of a piece of wood instead of a computer 
That’s what the OpenCutList team have in mind when they prototyping a feature that will allow you to easily export parts or faces to 2D (DXF, SVG) or 3D (DXF, STL, OBJ) external files directly by clicking on it.
This feature could be part of next 6.0 release, if we reach its financial goal.
