Templates control all the settings for a report. This is useful for seeing how many of a specific size thing you have in your model or for totalling values. Numeric values from attributes can be aggregated to create lists and sums. Attributes can also come from extensions or from the Dynamic Component Options Options dialog. Attributes such as Tag, Classifier Type or Price can be assigned using entity info. Some Attributes are object-specific such as the object's xyz position or bounding box lengths (LenX, LenY, LenZ). Instance specific attributes are useful for more generalized attributes about that particular instance of the component definition such as where it is in your design (floor 1 vs floor 2) or who is responsible for it or whether it's been completed.Īttributes can come from a variety of sources. Other attributes such as Tag, Owner and Status are instance specific. Attributes such as Definition name, Type and Price apply to the definition.

Groups do not share a central definition and do not update automatically. When you make edits to the definition, all instances (copies of the definition) receive those updates. This makes it easier to work with multiple copies of the object in your model. Components have a central "definition" in your file. You can create complex reports directly from SketchUp by using the Group By and Aggregate features.Īttributes are best supported for Components. The rows in the report are the attribute values. Each column in a report corresponds to an attribute from the objects in your model. This is useful for creating materials lists and estimates. SketchUp's Generate Report service creates tables of information based on the objects in your models.
