Add Value to Counters
« on: November 03, 2021, 12:52:38 PM »
Is there a way to possibly add a value to a counter?

When doing a takeoff I have a multiple counters that represent the same object, but different amounts of that object.  So after I do the markups, I have a list with the amount of icons on each page.  Can I create a custom column that will allow each counter a value so if I have 5 counter A's that represents 4 of the objects, it will show that amount of the objects is actually 20?  I hope that makes sense.

I created an example of what I am looking for.  I have 3 counters on 3 floors.  1D would have a value of 1, 2D a value of 2, and 4D a value of 4.  On the Markups list, the 1D is fine with just the total count of 11.  But I need a way to adjust the count of 2D from 7 to 14, and 4D from 3 to 12.

Thanks for the help upfront.

Hi,
I think that your answer will be to create a tool that you can use as a counter rather than use the counters.

This is because with a created tool You would be able to set the Increments as you wish.
