Can anyone get a material take off schedule to schedule the materials used for sweeps that are part of a wall type? It's not working on my end, and I'm guessing this is a limitation as opposed to a bug or mistake.

Can someone verify?

Thanks

I'm having the same issue, and to add...

I'm concerned about the subtraction from the area count of other materials...When placing either a reveal, or a sweep that is set back, material volume changes with the addition and removal of the sweeps from the wall type, but the other materials' areas stay constant when adding and removing the sweeps.

Even worse! Dang, I'll send this off to ADesk tomorrow.

Wall Sweeps, can report. Sweeps in Walls, cannot. Its unfortunate, but its always been this way.

Even more worse! Guess I won't send it on since they know about it already.

Oh well. I prefer not to include sweeps as part of a wall type anyway. Probably why I have never noticed this before.

Thanks guys.

I used to prefer them in the wall type, and now dont use them in the wall type unless its the same material as the wayy (soldier course in a brick wall).
