Nothing is attached.  A wall does have 2 sides, so is it calculating each face?

I will try that attachment again...

I understand your answer but does that make sense...We need to know the LF of a wall type, like Block or 2x4...the measure or distance command gives us this result while working in a view? Hoping that we can get the LF of wall in a take off schedule....i see my file listed in teh files box, hope it works

Walls and materials are different.  The wall length will be listed if you schedule walls but materials as a part of the wall may have two faces depending on the wall description.  A single material wall will take off will take off as you want.
