The most headline-worthy feature is explicit support for SketchUp 2024, including its new File Format (.skp 2024) and the updated Ruby API 3.0 environment. Simultaneously, the extension maintains backward compatibility to SketchUp 2017—a crucial feature for firms stuck on older versions due to plugin ecosystems or OS limitations.
Quantifier Pro 1.2.4 for SketchUp 2017-2024 is not merely a plugin; it is a philosophy shift. It argues that a 3D model should be the single source of truth for both design intent and cost reality. By offering seamless, real-time quantity extraction and costing within the familiar SketchUp interface, it democratizes quantity surveying—a field traditionally reserved for dedicated estimators using separate, often opaque software.
For any firm or freelancer who charges by the project, buys materials, or submits bids, Quantifier Pro pays for itself in the first few uses. Version 1.2.4 stands as a mature, reliable bridge between the art of design and the science of construction economics, proving that in modern architecture, every polygon has a price.
Quantifier Pro 1.2.4 is a professional SketchUp extension by MindSight Studios
designed to automate material quantification and cost estimation. It essentially turns a 3D model into a live BIM (Building Information Modeling) database. Core Capabilities
The plugin allows users to select objects in SketchUp and receive instant, model-driven data: Quantity Reporting:
Calculates Area, Volume, Length, and Weight for any group or component. Live Cost Estimating:
Assigns cost rules based on layers, materials, or specific objects. Reports update automatically if the model changes. Material Quantification: Quantifier Pro 1.2.4 for SketchUp 2017-2024
Reports the surface area of specific materials, accounting for waste and tax percentages. Exporting:
Supports exporting detailed quantity takeoff reports directly to Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) Version 1.2.4 Evolution Released to support SketchUp versions from 2017 through 2024
, this update introduced several critical stability and workflow improvements: Enhanced macOS Support:
Added Excel export for Mac and ensured dialog window positions are saved across sessions. Better Accuracy:
Improved length calculations for "Profile Members" (objects created with Profile Builder) and area deductions for openings like windows or doors in wall-like objects. Flexible Cost Input:
Introduced "Wildcard" support for importing cost data and the ability to use mathematical expressions (e.g., entering to calculate half-value) in cost factor fields. Localization:
Added an Italian translation and updated existing language files. Usage Tips Organize by Tags: The most headline-worthy feature is explicit support for
Put objects with different physical properties (e.g., Concrete vs. Wood) on different (formerly Layers) to ensure accurate weight and cost data. Avoid Scale Tool:
To maintain accurate quantity reporting, double-click into a component to edit its faces rather than using the global Scale tool on the outside of the group. Cost Inspector:
Use the tool's "Inspector" mode to visually verify which objects have cost data (highlighted in green) and which are missing data (red bounding box).

Beyond simple totals, Quantifier Pro 1.2.4 offers layered reporting. Users can filter quantities by layer, component definition, material type, or custom attributes. For example, a commercial contractor could generate a report isolating all "Floor Finishes - Level 2" while excluding "Temporary Construction Aids." The plugin also supports conditional calculations: "If panel width > 48 inches, apply premium material surcharge."
The interface, while utilitarian, has been refined for 1.2.4 to reduce dialog box clutter. A dockable tray shows running totals of selected categories, and drag-drop assignment of costs has been streamlined for touch and pen input—a nod to the increasing use of tablets in on-site quantity surveying.

Note: Version 1.2.4 is the last release supporting SketchUp 2017. Future versions will likely start at 2020 and above.
Select all decking boards in your model. In Quantifier Pro, apply the "Trex Decking" profile. The extension instantly recognizes each board’s length.
Open the Quantifier Pro attribute manager. Create a new profile named "Trex Decking." Add:
Create complex rules like: (Length * Width) * 1.15 (for 15% waste) or Count * UnitPrice + (LinearFeet * 0.50). These formulas persist across models.
