Estimate the areas of slabs, walls, cladding, flooring, and roofing. Calculate the area of the current and planned structure. You can also calculate the overall volume of the components, groups, and nested objects contained inside.
SketchUp allows you to compute the weight of objects by setting a unit weight density for the object�s layer. Quantifier Pro provides exact dimensions for components and groups.
Features of Quantifier Pro
1. Quantifier Pro provides you with the tools to quantify and price your SketchUp objects. Within the quantifier, you simply select different objects in your model and then apply cost data to them.
2. When you select an object in Quantifier Pro, you can view that object within the Quantifier Pro dialog box.
3. Consider putting all objects on the same layer for a block wall if you're going to quantify it. You can use this to apply different cost properties to objects on your layer.
4. Take, for example, the example of creating a foundation wall profile using Profile Builder 3. You have set up each profile to appear on its own layer. Basically, everything in that layer will get the cost applied to its face square footage when costs are applied to that layer.
5. This can also apply costs to objects based on other variables, such as length, within your model. With the profile builder, you can create a wood base inside your model. This calculates a cost for the wood base depending on the length and the unit cost if it is on a wood base layer.
