I have created a material takeoff and there are components such as toilets doors and windows listed with a area SF value associated. I would instead like to have a fixed cost for these items rather than a cost based off SF or area values. Is there a way to accomplish this in a Material Takeoff or should I just us a schedule and filter out these items from the materials takeoff? IS the materails takeoff an appropriate place to list these items, Whats your approach?
Thanks,

OK cool.
So how lets say I just want floors walls and roofs in my material takeoff is there a way to select these multiple categories when creating a takeoff rather than than selectin "multiple categories" which selects all of the elements?

In all schedules, you can add a column that you only use for filtering purposes and then you hide it. So maybe in this case, you curse the family name and filter accordingly.
We also add a shared project parameter to all categories for schedule manipulation (in our template and included in our template schedules). Typically if there is an X in that parameter, the item is never scheduled. But this field could be used in multiple ways.

Now I am incountering a diffrent problem. I am putting togather a Materials Takeoff of the Floor layers in my project. On level 1 the floors and subsequent areas display correclty and the SF values associated. However on Level 2 with the same floor type there are no area values associated with the floor. Why would this be especially considering I am using the exact same floor type?

We don't have enough information to answer except to say it is something in your process.
Are you sure you have a floor on that level? It could be that the floor is on a different level and just offset to where it should be.
