Hi everybody
I’m Marco from Italy and we build steel frame houses.
I’ve already searched in our italian forum but no results.
Please I just need to know if there are any plugins for the generate report service with which it is possible to extrapolate not only the quantities and the volume but also the surface and possibly other parameters. It would be very useful for us in order to be able to extract a detailed bill of quantities.
Thanks for the support.
You could try use the standard ‘generate report’ option within sketchup?
In the settings …
… you can add, remove, change order, etc to make the report your own
If this basic sketchup report is not sufficient, you could try search the extension warehouse for report/list extensions, like for example the “OpenCutList by L’Air du Bois”.
+1 for trying OpenCutList extension. It was designed for wood, but works just as well with other types of materials.
The only condition is that all the parts you want to extract are components.

Hi again
I’m just back on the same topic cause in the while I have found out another plugin to generate, something similar like a Bill of Quantities, called Quantifier Pro. Please could you give me some more information about this plugin?
To be precise, I need a program that can extract the quantities. Then I’ll generate the costs with another program outside of SketchUp. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Marco
The extension is from Mindsight Studios, their website.
There is also John Brock’s Estimator extension - https://estimatorforsketchup.com/
Free trial, tutorials, and example files.
I use it all the time for my projects, it makes a perfect tandem if you use profile builder with it, it’s imo one of the best plugins for quantification and managing costs if you know how to model so it can be able to be do a better quantification, there are some tutorials on YouTube but most of my knowledge of the extension came with using it and making mistakes once I understood how to create models that the extension can understand, it will save you a lot of time on the budget stage of a project.
For the first stages of the project you can model however you want, but for later stages you must model again but using components almost for every line(that’s exaggeration) but it’s the same if you use OCL, Quantifier pro or any other tool.
