SG Kitchen PRO V3.0: worth $49 if you design kitchens in SketchUp and need cut lists fast
If you design kitchens in SketchUp, the slow part is rarely the first cabinet. It’s the tenth base, the corner unit, the drawer bank, and the cut list that has to match every hidden panel. Static components can stretch, gaps can drift, and a design that looks clean in 3D can still arrive at the shop with missing dimensions. SG Kitchen PRO V3.0 from Suraj Gupta is a $49 SketchUp-focused cabinet generator that promises to turn that repetitive modeling work into parametric modules and a one-click CSV export. It is worth a look if you want faster kitchen layouts, cleaner door swings, and a manufacturing file that follows what you actually show in the model.
Quick answer
| Best for | Kitchen designers, architects, and woodworkers who model cabinets in SketchUp and need faster layouts and cut lists. |
| Skip if | You only need a one-off cabinet, want a free tool, or need compatibility outside the SketchUp workflow. |
| Price | $49 |
| Format | SketchUp cabinet generator + CSV cut-list export |
| One-line take | A $49 parametric cabinet generator that can save time if you regularly produce kitchen layouts and shop-ready CSVs. |
If that still sounds like you, SG Kitchen PRO pricing is the next place to check before you commit.
What you’re actually buying
At $49, the core value is not a single cabinet file; it’s a set of parametric SketchUp components that rebuild themselves when you change dimensions. The live page describes ten modules, including straight and sink bases, drawer banks, islands, tall pantry/oven units, corner units, wall cabinets, and countertops. That matters because a kitchen is not one part—it’s a run of bases, a corner, an upper wall, and a countertop that all have to line up. If you can generate a straight base, then a sink base with the plumbing clearance already considered, then a drawer bank generator with evenly spaced drawer fronts, you save the tedious part of the job: redrawing the same carcass over and over.
The second reason it stands out is the export side. The CSV cut-list exporter is the piece that moves the product from nice 3D to shop-ready. The live page says it can output length, width, and thickness for panels, and that hidden doors or shelves are excluded from the cut list. For a designer or woodworker, that kind of exclusion logic is useful because the file should reflect the model you approved, not every hidden layer you used while testing.
Door behavior and materials are the other practical details. You can choose double doors or single left/right swings, animate doors with SketchUp’s Interact tool, and apply finishes to doors and drawer fronts while the carcass stays clean. The corner units add another layer of usefulness: the live page calls out a precise 2mm door gap to help prevent swing collisions. For client presentations, that helps; for production, the dimensional control and cut list are the bigger win. The tall pantry/oven module is a good example of why this matters: a floor-to-ceiling unit with an appliance cutout is exactly the kind of piece that is annoying to model by hand and easy to get wrong if the void does not update cleanly.

What actually matters
- Confirm the version and license term. The title says V3.0, while parts of the live page refer to V2.0 and a 1-Year PRO subscription. Before paying, make sure the SG Kitchen PRO pricing matches the version and access period you need.
- Check SketchUp compatibility. The page should spell out supported SketchUp versions and operating systems; verify your build before purchase, especially if you move between machines or use an older SketchUp setup.
- Look at the CSV output. A cut list is only useful if the columns, units, and panel names match your shop workflow. Check whether the export includes the dimensions you need and whether hidden components are excluded.
- Test the 48-hour PRO trial on a real room. The live page describes a free straight base cabinet and a 48-hour trial for PRO cabinets. If you have a pending kitchen layout, use that layout to judge speed, door swings, and export accuracy.

FAQ
Is SG Kitchen PRO V3.0 a spreadsheet?
Not exactly. It is described as a parametric cabinet generator for SketchUp. The spreadsheet-like part is the CSV cut-list export, which can help turn the 3D model into panel dimensions for manufacturing.
Can I try SG Kitchen PRO before paying?
The live page says the standard straight base cabinet is free forever and that generating a PRO cabinet starts a 48-hour trial. That gives you a practical way to test it on a real layout before deciding on the $49 purchase.
Who is it best for?
Architects, interior designers, and custom woodworkers who repeatedly model kitchen cabinets and want faster parametric generation, door swings, and cut lists.
What should I check before buying?
Version, license term, SketchUp compatibility, and the CSV format. The title says V3.0, while some live-page copy references V2.0 and a 1-Year PRO subscription, so confirm the current terms before checkout.
Is it worth $49?
If you regularly produce kitchen layouts, the time saved on bases, drawer banks, corners, and cut lists can make the price reasonable. If you only need one static cabinet, a free or simpler file may be enough.
Bottom line
If you design kitchens in SketchUp and your bottleneck is repetitive cabinet modeling, SG Kitchen PRO V3.0 is a focused $49 option. The strongest case is the combination of parametric bases, drawer banks, corner units, countertops, and a CSV export that follows the visible model. If your workflow already depends on shop-ready dimensions, check the current terms and try it on a live layout. See current options
