Really surprised they haven't done this with an upturned camera or section cut.  

So I have a question also regarding the labeling of lot lines. is there a way to pull the label off the line, rotate it horizontally and have a leader point to the lot line?  in placing my lot plan in layout i've needed to resize the text for viewability, however some of the labels are now overlapping, and I want to clean it up.

If you go to Preferences>Materials List, are all the categories checked?

Or, when in a Materials List view, go to Tools>Materials List Display Options and make sure all categories are checked.

Ah yes, this was the problem - thanks!

Looks like they are there when I do a Calculate Materials For All Floors.

Yes, your materials list seems to pick it up. When I run a Materials List for All Floors, this is what I am shown. This is basically the entirety of the materials list.

Without looking I would say you need to go back and ensure you have specified all those other things to be built. Also, the materials list is just like other aspects of the program, there are "layer views" for the list. Do you have those items turned on?

Yes the wall assemblies have OSB, etc., and the joists are all on the plan. How do I turn on the "layer views" for the materials list?

Just uploaded it!

My material list for lumber is only giving me counts for studs, plates, and headers. I have built framing for the whole house, how come there are no quantities for Floor Joists, T&G OSB, etc...?

Thanks!

I want to calculate all the lumber for my house, but I want to make sure that truss member are not included. How do I know that my materials list excludes this?

Thanks!

That showed a default out of the box configuration. 

 

What happens when you start a new plan and add a wall or two?

Yes that is a default configuration of how the material list reports. How do I change this default?

Have you fully drawn a building, then built all framing, then generated an all-floors material list?

Yes.

This what I see for a single wall.

 

Yes how can I edit the wall style and what it what materials will report out.

When I generate a materials list, I have most of my materials going into the "General GN#" category. I have concrete stem walls, stucco, siding, and many more different materials as a part of the General category. How do I setup the conditions that I am designing to be in specific groups and categories. For example:

I want to draw  2x6 exterior wall that will generate quantities that go in multiple categories:

- siding quantity

- insulation quantity

- framing quantity

- etc.

Thanks
