dantappin Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 2025 Pro - Mac I have searched in here and the online manuals etc. I am failing to understand how you can set default prices for materials. For example basic materials like 4x8 drywall, OSB, studs, concrete. I get that you can create a materials list and manually updater unit costs. Is this not possible in the software? If so this is a huge failing. The online guide explains the procedure to update individual walls and then set prices. This then only updates the list for this items. I tried "updating to master list" that doesn't seem to anything. Changing prices in there has no effect. I want to run the material list for the whole house and see the updates as I make changes etc. Seems crazy to have to manually enter 200-300 lines of material costs each time.

Revisit the documentation on the Materials List / Master List. The process is not very intuitive, but it does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No where in any pane where you can set a default price for an material etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow you are right not intuitive at all: Generate a material list Select line items you want to save Click 'Update to Master List' Edit master list with prices Go back to your material list - select the lines to update Click 'Update from Master List' Why can't the generation of a materials list automatically pull from the master list by default?
