material takeoff for a nested family

[arsham]

hi all,

i have a casework family, which within has different casework families, nested into it, these nested families have instance material parameters, that when brought into the host family, they are locked to the type material parameters of the host family, but when i load the host family into my project, and get a material takeoff, only one material shows, out of 6, i dont understand why.... any ideas?

Ha! Well good. All is not lost then.  By the way, what was the specific solution you came up with?  I'm guessing it was in that file I opened from you.

No, @arsham  sent me the family in inbox, and I think to you as well. The issue was that he had geometry in family set to be shown in Coarse and Medium but hidden in Fine, so it wasn't showing in schedules either.

No other way around it but to show it in fine, as far as I know.
