glennw Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 There are a couple of ways that you can generate a ML for/in a room - depending whether you want the materials IN the room or including the room itself: "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. Calculate Materials in Room To create the Materials List for a room, select the room and then select Tools> Materials List> Calculate Materials for Room. Calculate Materials in Room is also available on a selected room’s edit toolbar. See Editing Rooms. A Materials List calculated from a room is created for only the contents of that room: wall materials are not included." Although, for me on a mac, the Edit toolbar tool, Calculate Materials In Room, also includes the drywall. I will look into that a bit more - it could be a bug. Does anyone else get the same?
