# Usage

## Launching the Tool

## Select Profile Members or other Objects in your model

Select Profile Members, Components, or Groups and the Quantifier dialog will instantly report the quantities of the selection.

## Tips for using the Quantifier

An 'Object' below refers to a Profile Member, Group, or Component.

- Model objects using Profile Members as much as possible to get the most accurate quantity reports.
- Avoid using the SketchUp scale tool on an Object. Rather, first double-click to enter Component edit mode and then scale the faces and edges inside the Object.
- Avoid using the SketchUp push / pull tool to modify the length of a Profile Member. Rather, use the Path Edit tool or the Extend tool.
- Put Objects with different physical properties on different Layers. For example, put objects made out of Concrete on a 'Concrete' layer and put objects made out of 'Wood' on a 'Wood' layer, and so on. This will result in accurate weight and cost estimates as long as the layer quantity properties have been set correctly.
