Feature: "Automated Material List with Pricing"
Description: With Quantifier Pro 124, users can now automatically generate a detailed material list with pricing for their SketchUp models. This feature allows users to:
Benefits:
Implementation:
To implement this feature, you can add a new button to the Quantifier Pro 124 toolbar, labeled "Automated Material List with Pricing". When clicked, this button will:
Code snippet ( Ruby ):
# Define the command for generating the material list
cmd = UI::Command.new("Automated Material List with Pricing")
# Analyze the model and generate the material list
model = Sketchup.active_model
material_list = QuantifierPro.material_list(model)
# Display the material list dialog
material_list_dialog(material_list)
# Add the command to the toolbar
toolbar = UI::Toolbar.new("Quantifier Pro 124")
toolbar.add_item(cmd)
This code snippet demonstrates how to define a new command and add it to a toolbar. The material_list method would need to be implemented to analyze the SketchUp model and generate the material list, while the material_list_dialog method would display the material list in a dialog box.
By implementing this feature, you'll provide users with a powerful tool for automating material quantification and estimation, making it easier to manage projects and improve profitability. quantifier pro 124 for sketchup 20172024 top
Quantifier Pro 1.2.4 is a high-speed reporting and cost-estimation plugin designed for SketchUp versions 2017 through 2024 (and even 2025/2026)
. While SketchUp provides basic "Entity Info," Quantifier Pro acts like a professional quantity surveyor living inside your 3D model. mind.sight.studios Key Features of Version 1.2.4 Instant Quantity Takeoffs:
By simply selecting objects, you get immediate reports on length, area, volume, and weight. Cost Management:
You can assign reusable cost rules based on tags (layers), materials, or specific objects. Excel Integration: Version 1.2.x replaced older CSV exports with direct Excel (.xlsx) export
for better compatibility with non-English characters and regional settings. Smart Calculations:
It can calculate volumes even for non-watertight objects and accounts for openings (like doors/windows) in "wall-like" profile members. mind.sight.studios How to Use Quantifier Pro effectively Organize with Tags (Layers):
Assign objects of the same type (e.g., "Brick Wall") to a specific tag. You can then apply a "Cost per Square Foot" rule to that entire tag. Define Cost Rules: Quantifier Pro Dialog Assign materials : Easily assign materials to individual
, add cost lines that include unit cost, waste factors (e.g., 5%), and tax rates. Inspect Your Model: Cost Inspector Tool
to click on objects; it highlights them in green if they have assigned costs, helping you catch missing data before finalizing an estimate. Generate Reports:
Create a "Cost Detail Report" to see every line item or a "Component Report" for a high-level summary of your project’s budget. Compatibility & Pricing Platforms: Works on both Windows and Mac. SketchUp Versions:
Fully compatible with SketchUp 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. A permanent license is typically 30-day free trial is available on the SketchUp Extension Warehouse. mind.sight.studios , like concrete or timber?
Quantifier Pro 1.2.4 is a premium SketchUp extension designed for instant quantity and cost reporting. Developed by MindSight Studios, it serves architects, engineers, and construction professionals by extracting real-time data directly from 3D models. Core Functionality
Measurement Tools: Instantly calculates length, area, volume, and weight of groups and components. It can even estimate the volume of objects that are not perfectly watertight solids.
Cost Estimation: Users can assign cost data based on layers, material square footage, or direct object counts. It supports factors like unit costs, waste percentages, and tax rates. go to Preferences >
Cost Inspector: A visual diagnostic tool that highlights objects with assigned cost data in green and those without in red, allowing for quick verification.
Reporting: Generates detailed "Cost Detail" and "Cost Summary" reports within SketchUp, which can be exported directly to Excel or CSV. Key Specifications Calculating PRICING in SketchUp with QUANTIFIER PRO!
Quantifier Pro is an essential SketchUp extension designed for architects and engineers to automate quantity takeoffs and cost estimation directly within their models. Version 1.2.4, released in early 2024, continues to offer a powerful alternative to SketchUp's limited built-in reporting by providing instant calculations for area, volume, and material costs. Key Features & 2024 Updates
.rbz file from MindSightExtensions → Extension Manager → Install Extension.rbz → Restart SketchUpEven the top software has quirks. Here is how to solve frequent problems with Quantifier Pro 124.
| Issue | Solution (SketchUp 2017-2024) |
| :--- | :--- |
| Plugin doesn’t appear after install | Ensure you are in a Pro version. Disable Anti-virus temporarily. Reinstall using Install Extension (not drag & drop). |
| Takeoff is zero "0" for volume | Your geometry is likely a "Surface" not a "Solid." Use Solid Inspector (free) to fix groups/components. Quantifier Pro requires solids for volume/mass. |
| Crash on large models (2024) | Version 124 has a memory fix. Still, go to Preferences > Quantifier Pro and reduce "Undo steps" from 100 to 20. |
| Dynamic Component attributes missing | Right-click the component > Dynamic Components > Component Attributes. Ensure the attribute name exactly matches what Quantifier Pro is looking for (case sensitive). |
Quantifier Pro 124 synchronizes your SketchUp model with a live, editable spreadsheet (CSV/Excel). When you change a wall’s length in SketchUp, the cost updates instantly in the spreadsheet. Conversely, if you update the unit price in the spreadsheet, the total cost in the model’s metadata updates.
