rfcomm2k Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I created a Material List using my pole barn plan. I then went thru the list and added prices for the various materials (concrete, rebar, windows, doors, insulation, etc). I then clicked Update To Master. Later, I opened the Master list and found all these items with the prices intact. Today, I opened another plan and created a material list. I then highlighted the rebar line item and clicked Update From Master, and the price showed up in the new list. I then highlighted the concrete line item and clicked Update From Master. No price appeared. I opened the Master list and the price was there. Both concrete items (from Master list and from new Material list) are identical except for quantity. Same ID number (FO1), same description, etc. So why did this not update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Page #947 in the Refernce Manual states:"The Master List The Master List saves price, supplier, manufacturer, and other information about items in your Materials Lists and allows you to apply that information to items in future Materials Lists. Select Tools> Materials List> Master List to open the Master List. Home Designer Pro allows you to have more than one Master List. Only one can be active, however, and only the active list is updated with new information. You can specify which Master List is active in the Preferences dialog. See ee “Materials List Panel” on page 92." DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfcomm2k Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Not sure if this answers my question. I look at the master list as a database that gets updated manually by me by occasionally going to suppliers and getting current prices. I then expected that when I create a new plan and then a material list for that plan, I can then update the plan material list with prices, labor, etc from the MASTER list. Is this correct, or do I not understand how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
