You will be able to find the QTO menu as the second menu in the information panel.

This feature lets you view and export a property list of the objects that are selected in the 3D viewer or tree panel. With this list you will easily be able to get accurate measurements of the quantities of different objects in your model.

To get started, please select an object in the 3D viewer or tree panel to display its properties and related information in the inspect menu.

After having selected some objects, the QTO menu can look something like this:

This article contains information about the following topics:

Filter and export

With the filter bar you will be able to filter for any of the values in your properties.

This list can be exported to Excel or CSV by clicking on the export button.

Quantity take-off list

The quantity take-off list is a list of all properties, quantities and materials in your selected objects.

Header row

The first row of the quantity take-off list contains the group of properties that each property belongs to. If any of the objects contain properties that are not part of any property sets (PSets) the first field in this row will be empty. Possible property groups can be type, material, property set (PSet)

In the second row you will see the name of the property within its group.

The two header rows can look something like this:

By dragging on the lines between each header column in these header rows you will be able to resize them. You can also double-click on the divider between columns to auto resize.

The columns can be sorted alphabetically or reversed alphabetically by clicking on the header row you want to sort. You can see for which column the list is sorted and in which direction by the arrow on the header row. See the name column in the image above.

Footer row

At the bottom any properties that have numerical values are summed.

The footer row can look something like this:

Below the sum there is a bar that lets you scroll left and right in the view.

Object count

Up to 10 000 objects can be displayed in this menu, but only a limited amount of cells can be displayed. If all your objects only have one property you might be able to display 10 000 but if they have many properties you will soon find yourself closer to the limit of what the browser can handle.

You can see how many objects are selected below the QTO list.
