Material Take Off

[david.sheffield]

If I take an OTB wall (Interior 4 7/8 Partition) and unlock the top of stud so I can have the stud go up to underside of deck and have the gwb stop 12” above ceiling I get strange results in my Material Take Off. If I make the stud stop below the gwb the gwb area is calculated to the top of gwb like it should be. When I extend the stud above the gwb the gwb area is calculated to the top of stud. Am I doing this wrong. My test file is attached. V9.1

Thanks

I get the same result. Strange behaviour if you try unlocking and extending or shrinking layers...

If most of your sheetrock walls are at a uniform height, i.e 9'-0", you could create a stacked wall with the fixed lower sheetrocked wall, set at 9', and then have the upper part (metal stud only) variable.

It should report out correctly then.

Yes, the stacked wall works.
