In addition, the Quantifier Pro plugin helps estimate the surface area and the projected area of the design. Thus, this SketchUp plugin helps to generate an instant report which shows the surface areas for all materials in the SketchUp design model.
Length calculation
The Quantifier Pro plugin also helps to calculate the length, height and width of the design components.
Weight calculation
The Quantifier Pro plugin helps to calculate the weight of the design objects in the SketchUp model.
Cost estimation
The cost inspector tool of this SketchUp plugin helps to calculate the entire cost for the design objects.
Volume calculation
The volume calculator tool of the Quantifier Pro plugin helps to determine the total volume of the design components. This tool also helps to estimate the volume of those design objects which are not water-tight solids.
Reporting features of the Quantifier Pro Plugin
➢ The reports of the Quantifier Pro plugin are model-driven, and this helps to automate the updates when the SketchUp design models have changes.
➢ The reports obtained from the Quantifier Pro plugin are fully customizable, which helps to show the calculations for the volume, height, length, projected area, cost, surface area and others.
➢ The international currency and multiple languages are also supported by the Quantifier Pro plugin of the SketchUp software.
➢ There is full control of units and precision, and units have been displayed in the reports.
Material tracking features
The Quantifier Pro plugin helps to track the design materials in the 3D models, which helps to estimate the appropriate amount of design material which is required for the design project. The material tracking feature of the Quantifier Pro plugin helps to save time in the estimation procedure.
Automatic labelling features
The Quantifier Pro plugin also helps to label the measurements and quantities automatically, which helps to track and organise the data of the design project.
Compatibility
The Quantifier Pro plugin is compatible with different versions of the SketchUp software, including SketchUp Pro and SketchUp Make, which support the Mac and Windows operating systems.
