Export Measurements export24

This button allows you to export the primary measurements to a table. Then, you can change the table’s appearance before its final export to Excel.

This table shows all measurement details in the following columns: 'Drawing', 'Sheet', 'Category', 'Description', 'Color', 'Unit', 'Quantity', 'Expression', 'Notes'.

Using the advanced filtering, grouping, column selection, and sorting tools, you have many options of setting the number, the form, and the type of the data you wish to view (See Appendix/Filters/Sorting).

Using the ‘Measurements analysis’ button  you can preview and print the analysis of the measurements in the above list. The analysis includes dimensions marking and details of surface area calculations (See Measurement analysis).

Description: comment_16 In the column ‘Expression’, in case of an area, appear the calculations of the analysis of surfaces into basic shapes like in the ‘Measurement analysis’. If the analysis exceeds 4000 characters the quantity field content is shown instead.

* In order to have a better view of the results of the analysis, it is recommended that the measurements are not very complicated but split in more measurements or sub-measurements.

Description: lightbulb_16 The ‘Measurements analysis’ button is also present at the drawings window toolbar and gives similar results (see Drawing windows/Measurement analysis). The difference is that, the analysis obtained from this window takes into account the sub-measurements and individual shapes, if any, of each measurement. If for example the continuation of a measurement is interrupted twice (by addition or subtraction), then three sub-measurements appear in different rows and for each one of them a separate page is created.

Description: lightbulb_16 Using the filters you can set criteria to limit the number measurements that appear in the list and subsequently the measurements that will be included in the analysis.

Exporting measurements and work items can be done from the ‘WBS’ tab where these features are described in detail (See Work items/Exporting WBS/Export WBS measurements).
