Quantifier Pro (Version 1.2.4) is an advanced SketchUp extension by MindSight Studios designed to automate material quantification and cost estimation. It bridges the gap in SketchUp’s native reporting by providing instant data on areas, volumes, and weights directly from your 3D model. Core Capabilities
Instant Quantities: Automatically calculates the area, volume, length, and weight of any selected group or component.
Material Takeoffs: Generates reports showing the surface area of every material used in a model, which is helpful for calculating paint, flooring, or cladding needs.
Cost Estimation: Allows users to assign unit costs, waste factors, and tax rates to materials, layers, or individual objects.
Weight Calculation: Determines weight by assigning unit density to an object's layer (e.g., kg per cubic meter for brick or concrete). Compatibility & Installation
SketchUp Versions: Fully compatible with SketchUp 2017 through SketchUp 2024 (Make and Pro versions) on both Windows and Mac.
Installation: Download the .rbz file from the MindSight Studios website and install it via the SketchUp Extension Manager. Essential Guide for New Users quantifier pro 124 for sketchup 20172024 new
QUANTITIES AND COST ESTIMATES in SketchUp with Quantifier Pro
Quantifier Pro version 1.2.4 is a recent update for the SketchUp extension designed for material quantification and cost estimation
. It is compatible with SketchUp versions from 2017 through 2024 and beyond. mind.sight.studios New Features and Fixes in Version 1.2.4 Corrected Reporting for Hidden Items
: Resolved a bug where objects hidden within "hidden tag folders" were incorrectly included in reports. Improved Excel Import Compatibility
: Fixed a regression issue that prevented importing Excel files with non-English characters in their filenames. Unit Support in Excel : Corrected a bug where specific weight units (such as kg/m^2\textunderscore surface lbs/ft^2\textunderscore surface
) were detected as invalid when importing cost data from Excel. mind.sight.studios Core Functionality Quantifier Pro Quantifier Pro (Version 1
allows users to instantly calculate and report physical properties directly from a SketchUp model: SketchUp Extension Warehouse Automatic Calculations
: Provides instant reporting of length, width, height, area, volume, and weight for selected groups or components. Advanced Volume Estimator
: Can estimate the volume of objects even if they are not water-tight solids, such as piles of gravel or concrete footings. Cost Management
: Allows users to assign reusable cost rules based on tags (layers), materials, or specific objects. Interactive Cost Inspector
: Includes a tool to click on any object in the model to see its full cost calculation breakdown. Reporting and Export
: Generates model-driven reports that update automatically as the design changes. Reports can be exported as HTML or directly to Excel (.xlsx). in your model? Quantifier Pro Release Notes - mind.sight.studios allowing you to quantify hardware

You can now filter your takeoff by Layer State. For example, you can isolate "Structural_Framing" to calculate total linear feet of lumber, then switch to "Finishes_Floor" to calculate square footage of tile—all without hiding geometry manually.
Quantifier Pro works hand-in-hand with SketchUp’s Dynamic Components. It extracts data from dynamic attributes, allowing you to quantify hardware, doors, windows, and furniture with parametric precision.
Before diving into the "new" aspects of version 124, let's establish the baseline. Quantifier Pro is a dynamic extension that automates the extraction of quantities from SketchUp groups and components. Unlike manual counting or native "Entity Info" panels, Quantifier Pro allows users to define custom attributes (cost, area, volume, length, weight, or even custom formulas) and then generate real-time reports.
The "Pro" in its name signifies its ability to handle complex, nested components. Whether you need the total linear feet of crown molding in a Victorian mansion or the cubic yards of concrete in a high-rise foundation, Quantifier Pro does it instantly.
