You can choose to run a report on the entire model or just the current selection. There are two ways to filter how objects are selected for inclusion in a report. For more info see Using Attributes to Group By and Aggregating values section below. This is accomplished by placing the "Definition Name" Attribute in the Group By field and then having the Quantity attribute in the Report Attributes. This template lists out the names of all the components in your model and gives the quantity of each definition.
The default template is the Component Quantities report. To get started, you can click the Create New Template button or you can edit one of the default templates. Report Templates can be stored in your skp files or they can be transported as ".grt" files. Generate Report allows you to create and save Templates so you don't have to build a report from scratch. Templates control all the settings for a report. This is useful for seeing how many of a specific size thing you have in your model or for totalling values. Numeric values from attributes can be aggregated to create lists and sums. Attributes can also come from extensions or from the Dynamic Component Options Options dialog.
Attributes such as Tag, Classifier Type or Price can be assigned using entity info. Some Attributes are object-specific such as the object's xyz position or bounding box lengths (LenX, LenY, LenZ). Instance specific attributes are useful for more generalized attributes about that particular instance of the component definition such as where it is in your design (floor 1 vs floor 2) or who is responsible for it or whether it's been completed.Īttributes can come from a variety of sources. Other attributes such as Tag, Owner and Status are instance specific. Attributes such as Definition name, Type and Price apply to the definition.
Groups do not share a central definition and do not update automatically. When you make edits to the definition, all instances (copies of the definition) receive those updates. This makes it easier to work with multiple copies of the object in your model. Components have a central "definition" in your file. You can create complex reports directly from SketchUp by using the Group By and Aggregate features.Īttributes are best supported for Components. The rows in the report are the attribute values. Each column in a report corresponds to an attribute from the objects in your model. This is useful for creating materials lists and estimates. SketchUp's Generate Report service creates tables of information based on the objects in your models.
