Well, quite a few questions actually.
* The company is costing items in BT and some things Chief counts differently than we are needing. IE: Soffit materials are generated in sq.ft. and we cost by linear feet because that is how our subs charge. Is there a way to modify the way Chief calculates things like that?
* I see, for instance, under cabinets Chief breaks down the cabinets into door, drawer, pull, hinge, etc. If we just wanted to price the cabinet as a whole unit is that possible ?
* The BT representative had never seen Chief before and was curious as to, when we exported to a BT file, where does Chief pull the construction code and item information from? and is it possible to edit the description through the components tab of multiple items at a time? IE: One of the ceiling joists showed as 3110 - Lumber 1st package. If we wanted to change that is it possible?
Is there a way to narrow down the lumber exported?
I see about 30 lines of 2x6 at various lengths when set to Mixed
I see everything under a total ft. count when using linear length
I see roughly the same numbers as Mixed when I choose Buy List
I don't think Cut list is anything I would need because we are not buying 3'2" boards, of course, they are being cut out of larger ones.
Can this output be narrowed down to count only lumber sizes we actually buy to come up with an each count?
I'm sorry if this is a lot, but any assistance is appreciated because I am just getting the hang of using Chief let alone having to provide material estimates
