5D+ Auto Info - New way to extract information from model

Hi @Cyentruk or anyone else who can help,
I want to create a Room Finishes Schedule. I have over 100 rooms, and I need a schedule that includes: type of finish / surface area for floor, ceiling, and walls.

Is it possible to compile all this information into a single table for this kind of schedule?

Thank you.

Yes, you can create this by adding more DC attributes columns into the table.

First, you can create space objects for each room, then you can add many custom attributes into it as you want like Wall, Floor, Ceiling Finishing…

Then you create the Room Schedule by selecting these objects and adding Custom DC attributes columns into it.

Hi @Cyentruk ! :waving_hand: I am experiencing a bug with AutoInfo + Sketchup 2026 . When I select an item in the list it highlights the selected object in the wrong instance of the component. I made a screenshot - I think it’s pretty clear like this. (In the front ist the component I am currently editing, in the back is an instand of that component, and this is where the highlight is being displayed…)

Thanks for reporing this. I will find out why and fix it asap.

Hi I am having an issue when trying to generate a window schedule. Some of the objects have the correct dimensions in the auto info table but others are completely wrong. I check to see if there was an issue with the axes of the components but that doesn’t seem to be the issue. Specifically it seems to be measuring the depth of the units as the height. Note: my windows and doors built with Flextools.

Hello, the dimensions are getting from width (X), depth (Y), and height (Z) of the boundingbox. Let check the bounding box of the doors and windows you are scheduling.

thanks here’s an example

There’re you see. The component axes is “wrong”. The Z axis must be vertical. The X axis must be the width, and Y should be depth.

Actually, @Cyentruk , having the axis directions just like @armin has, allows us to use hole cutting objects. Of course we can have a window with vertical axis inside a hole cutting component, but allowing the two versions: vertical is Z and vertical is Y, would be great.

Then when you’re using 5D+ Auto Info to schedule, you just need to notice about the X, Y, Z axis of the objects. Because the extension just get the info from the bounding box.

There is another way that you can get directly and exactly what info you want from a DC attributes, like this.

That’s great! It would be cool to have a way to directly create custom DC attributes, by selecting objects and adding attributes via 5D+ Auto Info table instead of requiring using DC component editor. Would it be possible?

May be :sweat_smile:

@Cyentruk aha yes that works by just changing the reporting attributes..,one more question: I have windows and doors nested in different level groups. Is there a way to select windows and doors across multiple levels on the same report or do I need to create separate reports for each floor? Thanks again

If you use 5D+ Plus, it has a powerful feature called Selector. That feature helps you create a preset which will automatically select objects through nested groups from a specific tag (such as. A.DOOR)

Then each time you want to select all objects that tagged A.DOOR to create a report. Just press a single click.

Here is the video.
