GeneDavis Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I have fully framed the job, and am testing to see what the material list produces for quantities. All interior wall studs are either precut 9' or 8', thus 94 5/8" or 104 5/8". It is not counting any interior wall studs or plates. Yes, I have the walls turned on. I'm set to mixed in structural reporting. For 2x4 and 2x6, I have deleted all lengths except the precut 8 and 9 lengths and 16-footers. I try a material list polyline to calculate just one wall. No plates, no studs. What's up with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneDavis Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 No, I did a search here and came up with that, doublechecked my file's settings, and that's not it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/01hgiyeqhc1enx3/Irvin Whitney.plan?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 Problem is I edited every single wall detail. Deleting it all loses all that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 94 5/8"? Our "8'" pre-cuts are 92 5/8" out west. I tell new framers get used to feet and inches or FIS. 7'-8 5/8" 8'-8 5/8" 9'-8 5/8" and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Not really sure if this may or may not be a factor as I have been having difficulties understanding the Manual recently and how it relates to functionality of the software. Calculate Materials From Selection: Select one or more objects and click the Calculate Materials From Selection edit button to create a Materials List that calculates only the selected objects and their components. When the selected object is a room, its moldings and wall, floor, and ceiling finish materials are counted, as is its subflooring; but doors, windows, and structural materials like framing and other structural materials are not. This may be a bug or just something I don't understand. Actually I just gave the Materials List Polyline and the Calculate Materials in Area tools and they both seem to work. So it must be something in Preferences that is different as I did not change any plan settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Gene, Are you including your Wall Details in the documentation ? I often do a Framing Schedule for each wall detail on a complicated build as it gives a positive verification of exactly where the material is being used. Just another option if the Material List is not going to be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hi Gene, You made a new Layer for Interior Walls and you have turned off the ML Reporting for your Walls,Normal Interior Layer , turn it back on in the ALDO and I think all will be well.

( furniture and finishes are AFAIK though) M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
