Launching today
A Navisworks NWD from Plant 3D, Revit MEP or DWF goes in; a line-based piping material take-off (MTO) in Excel comes back the same day, with a PDF report for the bid. Pipe in metres or feet, fittings and valves counted, exact copies counted once. Every row traces to model objects, and anything left unmeasured has its own list outside the totals. It is for estimators and quantity surveyors who price piping from a model. The sample Excel and PDF are free at metriqmto.com/sample.

I'm a product manager, and until this year I didn't know what a reducing tee was. Then I learned that before anyone can price a piping job, somebody has to measure every pipe and count every fitting in the 3D model, one by one. That looked solvable, so I built Metriq MTO.
A Navisworks model goes in and the piping take-off comes back in Excel, line by line, with a PDF report for the bid. A UK mechanical contractor has already priced a real tender with it.
It has limits. The model has to carry property data, and hidden objects are not read. Anything the model has no data for is listed separately, outside the totals.
A sample Excel and PDF from a synthetic plant are free at metriqmto.com/sample. You can also send me a model before you buy, and I will check it.
If you price piping, what do you still count by hand? If you don't, open the sample and tell me what is unclear.
