As of version 2024.f, Open BIM Quantities allows users to generate tables of amounts and use the information contained in the model components in these tables.
To configure and display them, the "Tables of amounts" option has been added to the "Project" group of the toolbar corresponding to the "Quantities of the BIM model" tab in the application.
By clicking on it, a window with the tables of amounts defined for the project is displayed.
The fields that make up a table of amounts are as follows:
- Reference. Specifies a reference to identify the table in the list of quantity tables.
- Selection. Allows users to establish the conditions that the elements of the project must fulfil to be included in the table.
- Columns. Allows users to define the reference and the content of the columns in the table. To do this, the information contained in the properties and quantities of the project components can be used.
- Sorting criteria. Allows users to indicate the order in which the rows of the table should be inserted based on the information available in the project components.
As the tables are defined based on variables from the model components, they are automatically updated when changes are made to the Open BIM Quantities project. The configuration of the tables of amounts can be exported in a file (".bib804") to be used in other projects.
The tables of amounts can be exported in CSV format so that it can be easily read in a spreadsheet program. Furthermore, a document can be generated with the table, which the application can export in multiple formats (PDF, DOCX, TXT, HTML, etc.).
