I can't find cut length field at material take off.

[heshamsalem]

Hello everyone. 

I have a question of two parts, if we could find a fix for part one then part two is not needed. 

I'm creating fabrication drawings for a wooden house and I'm using Agacad plugin for Revit to populate the model with all the structural elements. 

Here's my question for you. When I create material take off schedule, I can't seem to find the structural cut length to add it to the fields of the schedule. So I have to use the field from identity data which is ( framing member cut length) whichis sometimes not correct and not tied to the original structural cut length. 

So, how can I add the structural cut length to the material take off schedule?

If, there is no way to add that field to the schedule then I'll move to part 2 of the question. 

Can I make the numbers in the identity data ( framing member cut length) be automatically tied to the structural cut length? Because I need the numbers to be the same.

Hoping to find a solution. 

Thanks,

Hesham

Why don't you use a structural framing schedule?

[heshamsalem]

Because a structural framing schedule won't include all other parts within the walls, like mineral insulation. 

and Same thing when I'm creating assemblies schedule for walls, floors and roofs. I can't see the cut length.

Then you need to make a "parts" schedule 

See example where I mixed my walls and floorslab of an elevator shaft

There is no structural cut length in the parts materials take off

You will have 2 schedules: structural framing one and the one for the parts or material take off for all the other structural elements.

I've seen users creating structural framing sheets for fabrication and they always place multiple schedules on those sheets

Ok! Thank you for your help. Is there a way that I can have a parameter under identity data that is copying the exact number from structural cut length parameter?

Even if we can use a plugin to be able to do that.

Yes, you need to make an instance reporting shared parameter like this screenshot:
