Model-based timber information
Timber Frame Cut List Generator
FrameVerk generates timber information from the structural members in the project. The cut list stays connected to the model instead of a separate spreadsheet.
What makes a timber frame cut list useful?
The list must follow the current design. FrameVerk keeps each piece tied to its section, length, cuts, and project source before export.
Project members become usable material information
Keep different lengths, cuts, profiles, and member identities separate.
Review stock lengths and waste before you export a spreadsheet or print a PDF.
How the cut-list workflow works
- 01
Complete the structural members that belong in the material calculation.
- 02
Review each section, piece length, required cut, stock length, and waste setting.
- 03
Export the reviewed list for pricing, coordination, or workshop preparation.
Example: keep different lengths in separate groups
This illustrative list contains 18 rectangular blanks with a 50 × 150 mm section. It shows quantity arithmetic before cuts.
| Group | Length total | Gross volume |
|---|---|---|
| 12 pieces × 3.0 m | 36.0 m | 0.270 m³ |
| 6 pieces × 4.0 m | 24.0 m | 0.180 m³ |
| 18 pieces in two groups | 60.0 m | 0.450 m³ |
A volume total supports purchasing. The two length groups preserve information that a single total cannot show.
These are illustrative blanks, not an exported FrameVerk cut list. Saw kerf, stock selection, end cuts and joints require separate checks.

Timber frame cut list questions
Where do the cut-list pieces come from?
They come from the physical structural members in the saved FrameVerk project.
Can FrameVerk group equal pieces?
Yes. It can group physically equivalent pieces without hiding different lengths, cuts, profiles, or identities.
Can I export the cut list?
Yes. The reviewed list can support spreadsheet export and printable PDF output.
