View Full Version : Intelligent wall schedules using Material Takeoff

Here's a crazy one that I think might be doable with a more complex formula but not really sure.
I have created a Material Takeoff Schedule to act as a sort of 'mini' wall type schedule. This is to be placed on a sheet, directly beneath the wall type detail (see figure 1)
The schedule is filtered and formatted a few different ways to make it work.
There is a very simple calculated value to determine the stud size. This works great until you have walls that join at angles other than 90˚ (whoops). When that happens I lose the value for stud width entirely (see figure 2)

Any ideas you formula masters?
