Will that work as a formula for a custom property? I have the formula to change in another custom property, Where is that additional info tab? Or is that a custom property?

That wont let me use it to calculate another formula: The yes/no only name option will not work in a formula: So there are 2 thing happening with this one custom property, I am using it for a name ...

No I dont want to see any of the child ones under that takeoff (measured length) the ones in blue basically

I wanted to a say a batch option, or selecting and right click and say convert to item

Maybe additional Check box on the custom property page to apply to all selected items, it would default to be a plus sign and remove option like we use for adding measurement types, that custom lis...

I have it fixed now, I was confusing myself I divded 6 into 6... thats 1, instead of 6 into 4. Thanks

Looks like this wont allow a decimal value

([./# of CCTs/point count]/[CCTs per HR]) I did this and it return 1

Should be 1.5

This part of the formula is returning a 0 ([./# of CCTs]/[CCTs per HR])

Sorry there still is a slight issue: If I do the math on this: 42.10+20 = 62.1#of CCTs = 6CCTs per HR = 4 6/4=1.5 62.1 * 1.5 = 93.15, this then should round this up to 100, I even took out the if t...

I had to add ./ for the # of CCTs, then this works: if([./# of CCTs/qty] < [CCTs per HR],(sum('qty')+[Linear:FT]),((sum('qty')+[Linear:FT]))*([./# of CCTs/qty]/[CCTs per HR]))

The custom properties work great. Thanks

Thanks Todd!, So after talking with Todd, I had to make the floor core a child under that item

Ok, I just want to get that point count to times by my multiplier

going back on your other item, I have 2 field here, the count, and then the QTY (which is the footage that is needed per location) The footage part works fine as I need and times based on my number...

The thing also is why does this have to be an item to multiply, this should multiply based on the parent vaule The green are items that multiplied and the Red is just a standard takeoff, anything...

But you have that set to the QTY field, and what going to happen is that its going to take that and add that to my conduit and wire length, since my formula for my conduit total is taking the sum o...

in this case its 2 for that run since the run has 2 conduit runs with floor core location at 1 spot, if that make sense

So I have 2 things I am doing with that one count, I am figuring how much conduit & Wire I need, in addition I am figuring the number of cores through the floor are needed to get to a next floor level

Yes on the point count value I want these to say 2, but only count once

I'm just having to note it in the name that I will need to times the QTY by 2 when I put into my pricing system. But it will defeat the purpose if I can price items here in ZZ

I dont want it tied to my point counts or section counts on the linear takeoff, I manually locate where the cores are to occur.

I cant get the GIF to load. Put hopefully your understanding what I'm looking for?

No your putting those cores automatically, let me see if I can do a GIF and show you
