If you use blocks and assign attributes to each block, defining what material is used in it, then Autocad will give you a report with counts and amounts. Not something I would attempt to detail on this list since it is pretty much off topic, but look at block attributes and you should be able to find a good explanation or tutorial online...
Greetings, The layout is easy to get from autocad, but not the amount of material needed. A spreadsheet that would give those numbers would be very useful. Bright Blessings, Garth & Kim Travis www.TheRoseColoredForest.com Bedias, Texas
