skoz44 1 Posted October 7, 2020 Hi, I'm trying to organize my materials and material list and have run into a few items I'm hoping can be resolved. Insulation - the default insulation in CA shows you the number of 12 x 16 x 48" batts. I'd like to know the total SF of the insulation. I copied the CA insulation to my own folder and changed the Materials List Calculation to Area. It nows give me the SF that I want, but the insulation is no longer listed under Insulation in the Material List, it is listed under Wallboard. Anybody know how to correct this? For that matter, most of my drywall shows up under Wallboard like it should, but I have a small amount that shows up under Siding. How do I control what heading/ID a material will fall under? Cabinets and Countertops - I'd like to list all my cabinets individually, but then my total countertop to SF. Is there a way to separate the two? Eliminate From Categories - how to prevent CA from showing Sub Category - what is this column??? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eliminate From Categories - how to prevent CA from showing Sub Category - what is this column??? Thanks 1) In the material list change "=automatic_count" to "=automatic_count.to_f * 5.34" [without quotes] and change formatting to SQ FT. Where 5.34 = 16x48/144 2) Eliminate From Categories - how to prevent CA from showing Sub Category - what is this column??? Most brutal way possible - select your column, object properties> components and click delete [don't worry the circle thingy reverts back] or you can change the category. 3) Create a polyline and get to to display sq ft in place of the countertop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
