Crate Cut-List Calculator
Here's something I've been working on intermittently for about 14 years. It's a little script that takes three dimensions and builds a crate to fit them. You can also change the default lumber size, toggle spacing, and a couple of clearance dimensions.
As usual, this probably isn't as interesting for what it does, as for what it illustrates. In addition to calculating and collating a cut list, pictures of the pieces are drawn and dimensioned so you can see what you're asking for. That's also pretty handy when you get to construction.
Some of the terminology comes from building flats for the theater.
