RocketFarmer Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 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?

Unfortunately, it didn't work, but I appreciate your reply! I have also saved, regenerated the material list, saved, closed the application, opened and then regenerated the material list again to no avail.

Robborito Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Typical isn't it. Although, I usually draw a bit of the new wall (or whatever) to see if its done the mods i'd made- thus checking the rebuild is correct; Sometimes ive experienced no changes for the new changes - if you get me? Also is the F12 key relevant, does it do what its setup to do? I also have tried it longhand - via the menu - Build\Floor\Rebuild Walls\Floors\Ceilings\ For what its worth - These have been my experiences. Jeff.
