Option in Layout that automatically calculates square feet for residential spaces?

[DrewS75]

I am wanting to be able to do quick calculations for square feet for residential spaces for scenarios like flooring and drywall from our SketchUp models we bring into Layout for estimating and build plans. Does anyone know where I can find this functionality if it does indeed exist? Thank you!

You can show the area of faces from the model using labels.

There are different ways to do it, manually could be checkin on the entity info tray after selecting the surfaces or use the labeling tool on layout, there are also plug-ins that can do that automatically and export to an excel file that you can import from LayOut as well.

Care to name any of those plugins? This is for contractor purposes, so I think being able to provide them with something similar to a spreadsheet would be hugely beneficial.

Also if you are smart about how you model you can use the built in Generate Report out of SKP.

I tend to use Leaders in LO that pull in face or component data.
