Material take off, one wall but lists 4?

[still.james]

i have started to make a material take off, but even if i draw one wall it lists 4 instances of it...how come?

also why doesnt the shortcut WT work within schedules? (but does via Window)

1. you probably have 4 materials in your wall... Material takeoffs put one line per material, regardless of the assembly. Make sure you have the "Material:Name" field in your schedule and you will see the difference.

2. No shortcuts work in schedule views. It thinks you are trying to put text into a cell in the schedule. Kind of a bummer, but that's the way it works right now.
