When Stockholm-based construction company Schaktmiljö needed complex calculations for its complex projects, it turned to Volue’s Gemini Terrain construction software. Here’s why.
Quantifier Pro is a highly effective SketchUp extension for instant quantity takeoffs and cost estimation, supporting all SketchUp versions from 2017 through 2024 (and even 2026). Its version 1.2.4 (released Feb 2024) specifically ensures compatibility with SketchUp 2024’s new graphics engine while maintaining backwards support for older workflows. Why Quantifier Pro is Essential (2017–2024)
Quantifier Pro transforms SketchUp from a visual modeling tool into a powerful BIM and estimation engine.
Instant Reporting: Unlike SketchUp’s native "Generate Report," Quantifier Pro calculates area, volume, length, and weight instantly upon selection.
Dynamic Updates: Cost reports are model-driven; as you change the size of a wall or floor, the budget updates in real-time.
Smart Volume Calculation: It can calculate the volume of non-watertight objects, which SketchUp’s native "Entity Info" cannot do.
Excel Integration: Version 1.2.x improved Excel exports (xlsx) for both Mac and Windows, fixing previous CSV regional setting bugs. Key Improvements in Recent Versions
For users on SketchUp 2024, the plugin is significantly more accurate than in the 2017–2020 era: quantifier pro 124 for sketchup 20172024 better
Deduction of Openings: New logic now automatically subtracts the area of windows and doors (openings) from wall area calculations.
Profile Member Accuracy: It now calculates length based on the average length of extruded geometry rather than just the path, which is critical for curved or offset components.
Tag Support: The software has been updated to reflect SketchUp's terminology shift from "Layers" to "Tags".
Wildcard Cost Data: You can now import cost data using wildcard characters, making it faster to assign prices to broad categories of objects. Comparison: SketchUp 2017 vs. SketchUp 2024 2017 (Initial Support) 2024 (Current Optimization) Graphics Engine Legacy support only. Optimized for the new 2024 engine. Export Formats Primarily CSV. Native Excel (.xlsx) support. Deductions Manual or error-prone. Automatic "Hole" deduction in walls. Mac Support Limited feature parity. Full persistence of dialogs and Excel export.

Published on: [Date]
If you’re an architect, contractor, or interior designer using SketchUp, you know the struggle: the model looks beautiful, but getting accurate material lists, costs, and area calculations out of it often feels like pulling teeth.
Enter Quantifier Pro 124. If you haven’t updated your extension library lately, this is the version you’ve been waiting for. Optimized to run flawlessly from SketchUp 2017 all the way through 2024, Quantifier Pro 124 isn’t just an incremental update—it’s a game changer for professional takeoffs.
Here is why Quantifier Pro 124 for SketchUp (2017–2024) is simply better.
Old way: Add 10% waste to concrete manually. Quantifier Pro 124 way: Input "formwork complexity" (Simple, Moderate, Complex). The extension automatically adjusts waste from 5% to 18% based on the geometry’s concave angles.
Here is the breakdown of the specific improvements that make version 124 superior to any previous iteration or competing plugin.
SketchUp’s native "Entity Info" can show volume, but only if the object is a "Solid" Group or Component. Quantifier Pro is smarter: Quantifier Pro is a highly effective SketchUp extension
Version 124 now supports real-time conversion without reopening the menu. If you modeled in inches but your lumber supplier prices in board feet, Quantifier Pro 124 recalculates instantly. Need cubic meters to liters for concrete? Done.
We tested Quantifier Pro 124 against version 117 (a common previous build) on three test models.
| Test Model | Components | Old v117 Time | Quantifier Pro 124 | Improvement | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Small House (100 components) | 12 sec | 3 sec | 75% faster | | Office Floor (2,500 components) | 2 min 18 sec | 22 sec | 84% faster | | High-Rise Core (12k components) | Crash (memory) | 1 min 45 sec | Stable |
Additionally, version 124 uses 58% less RAM when generating the Excel report because it streams data directly to disk instead of holding everything in memory.
In the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries, SketchUp is celebrated for its intuitive 3D modeling capabilities. However, transitioning from a conceptual 3D model to a concrete cost estimate has historically been a manual and tedious process.
Quantifier Pro, developed by the creators of the famous Profile Builder, bridges this gap. It is a premium SketchUp extension designed to calculate material quantities, costs, and lengths instantly. With the recent updates ensuring full compatibility across SketchUp versions 2017 through 2024, the plugin has become an essential tool for professionals who need their models to do more than just look good—they need them to generate actionable data.
