Hi,
Just wanted to report a bug that I encountered. I was trying to make a material takeoff with the material name visible only in the header and the list of families and types under it, but it didn't work as expected.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a multi-category material takeoff
- Add the fields "Material: Name" and "Family and Type"
- Set "Material: Name" as "Hidden Field" in "Formatting" tab.
- (optional, to demonstrate my intent) Sort by "Material: Name", check Header and Blank line, then sort by "Family and Type". Uncheck "Itemize every instance".
When clicking "OK" it gives the error in the screenshot.
How to resolve:
- Uncheck "Hidden Field"
- Click "OK" to get back to the schedule view
- Hide the column in the schedule view (one way to do it is to right click on the "Material: Name" column and click on "Hide Columns")
When trying to edit the schedule fields/other options after using this solution, it gives the same error again. The same steps have to be repeated.
