Open Tables in the top bar and choose Quantities. It measures what you have drawn — wall lengths and areas, roof covering, slab, openings, terraces and paving — and groups them by the build-up each element carries. Nothing is stored, so a quantity can never be out of date with the drawing.
Quantity takeoff is a Pro feature.
What is on the sheet
| Section | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Materials (from build-ups) | Layer materials totalled across everything that carries a build-up. |
| Building elements | Walls by build-up, with count, centreline length and face area; roof covering; slab. |
| Openings | Doors and windows by type. |
| Site & outdoors | Terraces, paving, pools. |
Every row states its unit — m, m², m³ or pieces.
The honesty rules
The numbers are labelled with what they mean, because a takeoff that flatters is worse than none:
- Wall area is one face, storey-rectangular, with openings deducted. The triangle of a gable is not counted.
- Roof covering is the true sloped area from the roof solve, clipped to what actually shows after roofs merge — not the plan footprint.
- The slab reads closed wall loops. An outline that does not close yields no slab, rather than a guess.
Getting it out
Tick Quantities in the export dialog and it prints as its own sheet in the PDF set. See exporting to PDF.
What this doesn’t do
- It does not price anything. This is a bill of quantities, not a cost estimate — no rates, no totals in money.
- No waste or lap allowances. What is drawn is what is counted; add your own allowance.
- Furnishing is not counted, and neither are fixings, fasteners or labour.
