How to use a calculated value in one schedule in another schedule

Hello everyone, this seems like a simple question but I just can't find any documentation that appears to be solving this issue/presenting a solution. 

I have roughly three types of elements in my project:

  1.  Structural wooden framing with a Length and a Mass per Unit Length parameter  
  2. Floor elements with an Area and a Mass per Unit Area parameter
  3. Generic models with a manually-input Weight parameter (like furniture and technical equipment)

I have now created separate schedules for the structural framing and floor elements that both calculate the weight of each element, one using the formula Length*Mass per Unit Length and the other using Area*Mass per Unit Area like so:

What I want to do now is make a "master schedule" that lists ALL these elements (including the static weight parameter generic models) in one table with their calculated weights so I can see the sum weight of all elements. But I need to figure out a way to make this "Weight" parameter into actual parameters that the elements intrinsically have, the same way I have given them a "mass per unit Length/Area" parameter (which I did manually).

 

I was hoping maybe I could create a "Weight" shared parameter in the project, and somehow have the calculated Weight collumn values be assosiated to that shared parameter... Can anyone point me in the right direction? Am I misunderstanding the appropriate approach here? Thanks!

Do you mean to end up with something like the following?

If so, you need to create a shared parameter within each individual family, rather than in the project, called "Total Weight" or "Weight" that calculates the weight using the simple formula of either area or length * each respective cost. This means that you will then be able to put that shared parameter "Total Weight" or "Weight" into your schedule and get your grand total as desired. I hope that makes sense.

If this works, please mark it as an accepted solution. This helps make the forum a better place.

Create a multicategory material take-off.
