You may add information to components and groups using the SketchUp Classifier to build an object that you can control.
Objects feature a variety of information that you can use to make reports, analyse a model, dimension, count, measure, tag, and export the objects as well.
Before you start classifying the various objects you must be sure to always check the following:
1. Categorize the object as a component before attempting to classify it.
2. Ensure that the template contains the classification system.
3. On the toolbar, enable the Classifier tool.
You are now able to select the component and choose the classifier tool from the drop-down menu. Select the type of object that you wish to categorize by clicking on the arrow next to the classification system. By inputting the necessary information, you will then be able to proceed with the process of classifying the object.
Report generation
By using SketchUp's generate report service, you are able to generate a .csv file that contains a list of all the attributes listed on your SketchUp model.
When it comes to the construction stage, this type of report is particularly useful for getting a glance at how many of each component is going to be required. Planning and calculating the final cost of a project is made easier.
You can create a new template by navigating to File > Generate Report and choosing a new template. Now that you have chosen which components you would like to include in the report, you can customize it. Whenever you are satisfied that you have all the information you need, click on the Run Report button to begin creating the report.
