So we are wanting to provide that information to help our salesman with takeoffs. Just as some extra information. So with the different plate heights you are right, I need the differing stud lengths but I still need the length of the wall so we can determine a stud count as well as a plate length. I started messing around with the materials lists to get the casing and base and that helped a lot. I DO prefer the presentation of the schedule though as opposed to the material reports. Plus with a schedule I can just send it straight to the layout and couldn't figure that out with the materials list. So at the end of the day if I can have lengths for the casing and base, my salesmen can run the manual takeoff to get a count on the number of pieces they should order. Same with the lengths of the walls per differing plate heights.

I'm working on trying to create some "custom" schedules but am having some trouble. With the wall schedule I've been asked to try and break it down a little different than what they have available in the standard wall schedule. They are wanting to be able to break down the lengths of walls by the plate height of rooms as well. So for example interior wall lengths at 9' as well as interior wall lengths at 10'. Also I'm trying to find a way to get total length of casing and base entered into a schedule. I know how to find it in the material list breakout, but I was hoping there was a way I can tag it into a schedule somewhere (wall, window, or door probably). Any help would be much appreciated!!
