Complete Overview of the QTO Table

Introduction: Why is the QTO Table Essential?

In the field of BIM, managing quantity data can quickly become challenging if information is not centralized. The QTO table steps in to address this issue.

It centralizes critical data while establishing strong relationships with other system tables, such as Revisions and Assets. Additionally, it ensures compatibility with tools like Power BI, enabling in-depth data analysis and advanced visualizations.

By using the QTO table, your workflows become more structured and efficient, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall productivity.

Comprehensive Overview of the QTO Table

Explanation

The QTO table includes key columns that ensure optimal data organization:

• RevisionId: Unique ID of the BIM model version.
• AssetId: Unique ID of the BIM object linked to the quantity.
• Formula: (If applicable) Formula associated with the quantity.
• Name: Name of the quantity, such as NetVolume.
• QuantitySetName: Group to which the quantity belongs, such as BaseQuantities.
• Unit: Unit of measurement (e.g., m³).
• Value: Actual value of the quantity (e.g., 0.294472704).

Relations with other tables

Strong connections for integrated management

The QTO table does not function on its own. It seamlessly integrates into the SeveUp ecosystem through its connections with other key tables:

• Revisions: It associates quantities with a specific version of the BIM model.
• Assets: It links quantities to specific BIM objects to ensure consistent management.

These relationships ensure smooth navigation between the data, reinforcing the centralization of BIM information.

Conclusion: Why adopt the QTO table?

In conclusion, the QTO table is a key tool for BIM professionals. With organized columns, strong inter-table relationships, and compatibility with analysis tools like Power BI, it simplifies the management and utilization of quantity data.
