Room Addition Material list

Is it possible to get a list of materials for a room addition to an existing house. I do a lot of drawings for "sunroom" type additions and it would be helpful if I could tell CA "This part is existing, no need for a materials list" and then it would give me a report for the new addition.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Jonathan:

clone the plan and delete the "existing"

As you are drawing the existing put them on a separate layer (I usually label them Ex walls) and then uncheck the materials box for that layer.

Try the material's list polyline tool. Chief video #372 & 1047

Right click in any room and select, "Calculate Materials for this Room". x4 has this, right? Or from the Materials List menu, "Calculate Area".

Then edit/merge the list(s) in Excel, Google Docs, etc.
