Here are a few examples of additional currencies: NOTE: It's advisable to make a backup copy of the Currencies.xml file prior to making any modifications To add another currency, simply add another 'currency' line to this file. A comparison with the state-of-the-art commercial software showed consistent QTO results, whereas the proposed D-READ method resulted in QTO algorithms that were more robust with regard to the different BIM authoring tools and workflows used.I thought I'd share this quick tip I've just found out for how to add additional currencies to Autodesk Quantity Takeoff (QTO).Īll default currencies are stored in a configuration file (Currencies.xml), which for users of QTO 2012 running Windows 7 can be found here:Ĭ:\Users\ \AppData\Local\Autodesk, Inc\Autodesk Quantity Takeoff 2012\5.0.16.0\Currencies.xml The proposed method was tested on nine different BIM instance models from different sources. A model view definition (MVD) model for IFC model checking was developed and incorporated with the QTO algorithms. It takes a novel bottom-up approach in QTO algorithm development compared to the traditional top-down approach. The proposed method enables the development of QTO algorithms for IFC-based BIMs resulting from different BIM authoring tools and workflows, and therefore it enhances robustness of BIM-based QTO. To address this gap, the authors proposed a new data-driven reverse engineering algorithm development (D-READ) method for developing QTO algorithms based on IFC geometric analysis. Even the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), one of the ISO standard data schema, have been used in a variety of ways, some of which could be proprietary. One main gap in the automation of construction quantity takeoff (QTO) is the lack of a systematic method to address building information models (BIMs) created from different BIM authoring tools and workflows.
