Classifying Objects对对象进行分类

Naming something is the first step toward figuring out what makes that thing different from all the other things in the world. 命名某物是找出该事物与世界上所有其他事物不同之处的第一步。In a SketchUp 3D model, this idea isn't just a philosophical concept. When you use the Classifier to embed data into groups or or components, those groups or components become objects that can be managed.在SketchUp 3D模型中，这个想法不仅仅是一个哲学概念。当您使用分类器将数据嵌入到组或组件中时，这些组或组件将成为可以管理的对象。

The details that you can track and manage can represent so much more than simply what the modeled object looks like. Objects in SketchUp carry information which you can then use in Building Information Modeling (BIM), a common workflow used when creating realistic models that incorporate real world, practical data. With the Classifier you can:您可以跟踪和管理的细节所代表的远不止是建模对象的外观。SketchUp中的对象携带信息，然后您可以在建筑信息建模（BIM）中使用这些信息，BIM是创建包含真实世界实际数据的真实模型时使用的常见工作流程。使用分类器，您可以：

• Count, measure, dimension, and tag objects.计数、测量、标注和标记对象。
• Generate reports.生成报告。
• Analyze your model for meaningful data like energy performance and cost.分析你的模型，寻找有意义的数据，如能源性能和成本。
• Export objects into other formats or programs.将对象导出为其他格式或程序。
