Hi. I had to cut around 40 pieces of wood (I guess you call them rafter), out of standard pieces available at the closest shop. Did not want to define cutting plan by hand, so I fire my Xojo IDE for help.
The resulting utility is available at https://github.com/slo1958/sl-xj-WoodCutting.git
The cutting plan is build based on one dimension (the length of the required pieces)
Happy DiY….

you can add screenshots in the readme mark down like this
u can manage unused/obsolete data with a .gitignore file.
the backup should be in other commit/push.
Thanks for feedback. I’ve added a few screenshots….
Hi Serge,
with plan in the title, I was awaiting the project to allow printing a plan of each pieces of wood with comments and measures (something similar to a house plan: pieces, kitching, bathroom, etc.).
If it is the case, sorry, I just looked at the screen shots and saw none, only useful text.
BTW: this recall me something… I certainly saw something around that idea, but probably more than 40 years ago. I had then the tools to use that handly (no more today).
Thank you for the sharing.
Indeed, the output is basically a text file, with the length of each pieces to cut and a the estimated size of the left over (without taking into account the size of the blade), as you have seen in the screenshots.
I basically print the file and hand it over to my ‘wood cutter in chief’ (read: my dear wife)
I can try to add a graphics output (once my current woodwork is done 
)
