I'm having a few difficulties with a material take off.
I have created a material take off to schedule by multi-category.

Mainly Walls and Sweeps? The Sweep is not built into the wall type but placed on after.

I have made the schedule filter by the Material:Mark, for instance my materials all begin with E that i want to include. But for some reason it is missing one material. Does anyone know why?

I have included a couple of images to try to help?

Thanks.

correct me if i'm wrong, Material Takeoff won't count all profile based system family like sweep (embedded or not) / slab edge / fascia / etc., they even cannot be tagged by category / multi-category except material tag, seems keynoting is OK.

I think you are correct. It has drove me nuts forever why in the world a slab edge is not counted in a material takeoff schedule. I am doing a concrete takeoff right now. Since the footing is contained within my thickened slab edge profile, I don't get to see a huge amount of the concrete in my material takeoff. INSANE!
