| SketchList 3D allows you to use your computer to design furniture and cabinets by specifying dimensions of the projects, assemblies, and subassemblies, as well as project details, joinery techniques, and materials. | ![]() |

This total rewrite of our popular SketchList 3D allows you to tackle complicated furniture, built-in, and cabinet design projects with speed and ease. You work with virtual boards (with grain and texture) to build your work
on the computer screen. You can detail the board in many ways: cutting shapes (L-shapes, ovals and circles, curves, and angled edges), put contours on edges, cut holes and slots, apply edging, and slant and angle the boards. Standard parts and assemblies can be saved so you only create an object once. You can easily
clone any object to save time in design. As you design a photo-realistic 3D image is always available, as are parts lists and an optimized cutting layout report.

Prepare the Bid Fast with your prospect's participation, use SketchList 3D to reduce bid time and costs,
and increase probability of closing the business. One woodworker said the thing that takes the most time is working with the prospect during the home visits. One approach is to use the home visit to work with the prospect to design a prototype of the job, show it in 3D, and get rough materials requirements all at in the same time. Plus engaging the prospect early on increases the odds of getting agreement later.
See a design in process. This is an example of a built-in wine rak that we recreated in SketchList 3D Professional.
We are looking for early testers. If interested please contact us. We will install the software on your machine, give you a one on one tutorial, and work with you to achieve your designs. We want to get your feedback and perhaps use your designs in our marketing and sales. The product is new and incomplete - but can generate high quality 3D images which you will find valuable in your own proposal and sales efforts. Many features are still being added -- like slanting and rotating boards, adding contours to edges, rotating assemblies within projects AND reports.
Bid Cost Spreadsheet - A spreadsheet that allows you to analyze your bidding practices, costs, and their annual effects on your business. It will, if you choose, allow you to calculate possible savings from using SketchList 3D in your business.
