Hello all,I have created a material takeoff schedule that states the material name, calculates it`s thickness and states the area. I am trying to calculate the total area of each material grouped by name and thickness, but when I add two grouping conditions it does not seem to calculate my totals. Anyone know a way of achieving this? Thanks!

So I've noticed that the thickness calculation is not as precise as I would have liked it. I rounded the values to 1/8" by using the following formula:round(Material: Volume / Material: Area / 0'  1" * * 0'  0 1/8"However I've noticed these values are often not the same as the material thickness in my wall compositions. Is there any other way to get the material thickness in a material takeoff?
