I have not spent much time playing with the materials list function of Chief.  Playing around a little today.  What I am wanting to know is how much sf there is for the ceiling and walls of the room.  When I right click in the room, I am hitting "calculate materials for room".  I am getting calculations for the floor, ceiling and trim but no walls.  How do I get it to show how much Sheetrock is on the walls?  Am I missing something in settings or something?  It seams pretty straight forward that it should calculate all the materials for the room including walls.  For learning, I am just doing a simple square room with no windows and doors.

Its because CA uses the Room Polyline for that Calc. and that Polyline sits on the surface of the Drywall on the walls so it is not included though for some reason the Ceiling is.....just another CA "Quirk", use the Material from Area or Materials Polyline to drag your own "Area" over the walls too.
