Merge uniform items missing?

qingdom — Sat, 08 Oct 2022 08:36:02 GMT

Hello,

I can't find merge uniform items in schedule in AC26?

I only have merge items which merges everything and i don't know why would anyone merge everything that is not the same.

Did the setting move?

Of course.

I see the second column showing no. 1 should be eliminated as they are sharing the same property, that will eliminate merging all together.

But i want to merge them if they are the same size, and i want to show the quantity.

For example if there are 5 beams with same length, those 5 would merge and write 5.

Simply go to the size field and display the flag icon so it will give you a sub-total quantity and size for the merged beams.

One of the enhancements to AC26 was to do with the ability to add more control to merging of elements in schedules. I haven’t used it yet so not sure how it works.

( the ability to add more control to merging of elements in schedules )

thanks @Lee Hankins @for the info and I hope you highlight that more even with a link or a screenshot.

Having hit the merge all it merges all even those who are not the same, i don't want to merge all, only the uniform items. I did click the flag, nothing happens.

Attached screenshot after i hit merge and flag.

Still to the same topic of schedule, just set the calculation to be centimeter to all it shows but the profile height column is showing in meter.

Why this column is not affected by the global setting of centimeter?

Is there a setting for this to change in centimeter and not in meter?

In calculation units set length to be measured by centimeter.

As i mentioned, i already set the calculation units to be measured by centimeter.

All columns are by centimeter except that one.
