Generating a Materials List

To conclude this tutorial, we'll generate a materials list for the house. You can generate a materials list for the whole plan, an area of the plan, or just a single room. For more information about materials lists, see "Materials Lists".

Note: The Materials List is only a rough cost estimate and should be double checked before being relied on.

Select Tools> Materials List> Calculate From All Floors

You can enter material costs in the Price column. The total cost of all materials you enter appears automatically at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

Close the materials list by selecting File> Close Window from the menu. A dialog appears asking if you want to save the materials list before closing.

Save or click No to close without saving. A new materials list can always be created later.

When you have finished, you may want to Save

your work.
