Custom Column Problem
« on: August 24, 2023, 01:27:05 AM »
I'm trying to add reinforcing steel to my slab on grade. I can put in the spacing and get it to determine the lineal footage of the rebar, but I cannot seem to add the bar size and price per foot of each bar size. See attached. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I don't want to calculate total depth. How do I turn that off?
Thank you,

I figured out what my problem was. I put an invalid entry in the subject field. Once I cleared it out, it worked fine

I found it was simpler to use the Excel link feature (I have the Extreme version). It's much easier to use the link rather than create custom columns, especially if I'm working with several types of markups such as slabs with bars at a specified spacing or a beam with a fixed number of bars top and bottom. I would end up having different custom columns for both situations. Reminds me of parameters in Revit.

Anyway, I'm happy now.
