Dataflow Add Basic Quantities

The Add Basic Quantities dataflow calculates geometry-based dimensions and quantities for all objects and assigns the results to standard properties within a Simplebim property set. The selection of calculated quantities for each object depends on its object class (see below), while the property set and property names remain consistent across all object classes.

This dataflow provides an easy way to add standardized quantity data for all objects. These quantities enable combining different object classes within the same quantity take-off or calculation process.

Image: Calculated quantities for all object classes (All elements, both assemblies and parts)

Image: Calculated quantities for Beam, Building Element Part, Column, Covering, Door, Slab, Wall, Window, Element Assembly, Roof, Curtain Wall, Ramp and Footing. For Space: 05_Area Shadow net, 05_Perimeter and 05_Perimeter inner.

Image: Calculated quantities for Door and Window objects. For windows, the frame length is calculated based on the perimeter; for doors, it is calculated as (2 × height) + width.

Image: Additional interpreted quantities derived for selected object classes, including walls, slabs, and spaces. These quantities provide more intuitive and practical values for analysis and reporting.
