Am I understanding that you want a view of the bent with joinery on it so you can develop shop drawings / dimensioned drawings?

You can do this right in your model by using SketchUp to create section slices. I then turn the slice into a group, then into a component. I'll drag it off to the side and detail it. I'll then move it back to the location it came from and set up a view in with the scene manager. You can put your dimensions and notes on specific layers to control visibility.

Currently the Rubies work on a per - part basis. Great if you need to detail each and every timber for the shop. If you don't need to do this you can use a SketchUp model with the method I've described above to list joinery, notes, and dimensions.
