Import Cost Data from Excel

Import Cost Data from Excel

Open any SKP model. The model does not need to have the same layers and materials that are listed in the Excel file.

1. Click the button to select the Excel file to be imported.
2. Make sure that the selected sheet contains valid Quantifier Pro cost data.
3. Click the 'Import Cost Data from Excel' button to import all of the cost data from the selected sheet into the SKP model.

Important:
If the SKP model contains matching layer names, material names, or object names with the rows in the Excel sheet, the cost data for the matching entities will be completely over-written with the contents of the Excel sheet.

Create New Materials and Layers from Excel

If the Excel sheet contains material and layer names that are not currently in the SKP model, you will be asked if you want to create them.
