Navisworks Quantification- Export images with quantities of items taken off

[stahci]

We are currently working on a project and want to do quantification in Navisworks. I understand the basics of taking off the model and getting quantities. However is there a way to print or export images and quantities of the items taken off?

The reason I ask is because in our normal 2d quantity take off process we use PDFs to get the quantities and are able to then document the take offs by simply doing a print out from the software. The print out will be a project totals and then show each sheet we used all marked up and highlighted with the quantities. This is then useful because it is put into a binder for documentation and presentation to the owner and architect for budgets. I need Navisworks to do something similar or else the process and work in navisworks would not be vaild. Has anyone found a way to do this? Or a work around to document the quantities so Architects and owners can understand what is included in budgets.

Thanks for the videos. That does not answer my question. This might need to be a software feature request. I need the model to produce a visual report of what has been taken off, this is possible in every estimating software i have ever utilized.

I can provide an example if I am not clear enough in my explaination.

Thank you for your post. In this case I would also suggest submitting this feedback to our development team directly via the link below. This will help in building the momentum for change in the current configuration of the software’s features and tools (enhancement requests). This helps explain the business impact to every day users for future consideration in operations. I hope this helps. Thank you.
