This is probably really basic but I'm stuck.
I've added the CutList plugin to SU and can't figure out
how to get CL to recognize that I'm using sheet goods.
I know it expects each components material to have
sheet/mdf/etc in the name - but how do I assign a material
to a component?

Assign a material to a component by "painting" it with a material.
select the material, click the little paint bucket and click on the
component. Then rename the material, panel, plywood, sheet, etc, the
suggested name by the plug in program. You could rename the material
oak plywood for instance. You can have several different materials in a
drawing.

FWIW you can use the cutlist plug in to generate a file to import
components into CutList Plus also.
