Window number - materials list?

[Robborito]

Does the sequence or chronological numbering of windows adjust  to remain chronological, if you delete inserted windows from a model?

I have produced a materials list on a small house - I notice that the window numbers are not sequential to the listing, but appear sequential to their insertion timing on the model. Its only a small house with 5 windows - but in the material list I have W1,W2, W3 W6 and W8 - and not, W1-W5 - if this makes sense?

I did have other windows - the extra 2, but deleted them - so I am supposing that the window sequence in the material listing reference the insertion into plan number and not any relevance to a total number.

 

Are there experienced Material List users that can offer suggestions?

Just tried and could not duplicate what you describe. I randomly placed 6 windows of different sizes, then deleted 2. Material list showed consecutive numbering. Tried multiple times, always with the same outcome.

Have a look at far left hand column - not far right column?

Line 81 - 87.

You might send to tech support to see what they say.

I've checked this out a few times and I'm getting the same results as solver, so I'm going to echo contacting the company's technical support team directly.
