pj42pj42 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Hello, Is it possible to manually edit the Materials List to contain materials not defined in the plan view? This is a repair of existing structure plan. The spreadsheet currently will not allow the editing empty rows, deletion of existing rows or addition of new rows as needed. For example: 1) Delete two rows under Subfloor. 2) Add and edit six rows under Exterior trim. 3) Delete nine Roofing rows. 4) Delete two Windows rows. 5) Delete one Doors row. 5) Add and edit at least three lines to Hardware. 6) Add a Masonry (M) Category and one row. 7) Add a Decks-Walks (DW) Category and four rows. Many thanks for any assistance, it is greatly appreciated. Peter Note: The layout file would not load to this message for some reason...

mthd97 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Hi @pj42pj42, can be controlled in a number of ways, by setting categories and by layers defining what is to be included in the ML. Here is a link to a video on ML but it would be good to watch all relevant videos in the playlist to see how to go about adding more rows etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CYLqbiX300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj42pj42 Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Ok, thank you, that was helpful. The Materials List is now complete. However, how to send to layout?. Can anyone help with this? -In multiple videos a report is created via Tools/Materials List/Report. -In X12 premier the materials list report option does not appear in the plans view nor in the Materials List view. -Is creating a report of the Materials List part of the process for sending to layout? So, Chief premier X12, how to send a Materials List to layout. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthd97 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 ML should be in your project browser. Please see it at the end of this training video. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/30/cost-estimating-using-structural-member-reporting.html?playlist=104 Edited: Please see this older post as well, hope that helps. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/19306-materials-list/ I believe exporting and printing the ML is also similar as in Home Designer Pro. I couldn’t find one specifically for CA. https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00275/printing-exporting-and-saving-materials-lists.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj42pj42 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Exporting ML as CA Save As PDF and then importing into the layout was successful. Many thanks, very helpful. Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
