I have already completed my design, but upon selecting an ICF vendor, I need to update the default ICF block dimensions.
I created this project in Home Designer Pro 2024. I also have 2021 Pro and 2017 Architectural available
I edited each wall to update the Component "Insulating Foam Board" dimensions to reflect the current product. 12" height vs 16" default. After updating all walls, I created a new material master list and noted that the item count has remained unchanged after the dimensions were updated. I expect the count to increase due to the smaller sqft coverage of each ICF block, but no change has occurred in the material calculation. I double-checked a few walls by manually calculating their area and found that the ICF block count still uses the original default dimensions.
In the image below I have chosen to compare the EPDM foundation wrap's area to the ICF count
146.51 sqft / 4sqft = 36.6275 ~37 blocks
The software still displays 27 blocks for this wall. This is after calculating materials, post-component dimension update.
What recommendations do you have to get the system to correctly calculate materials in this situation?
