Takeoff tool not quantifying all Items in Group

[Steve_B]

I have opened up the Takeoff Tool in Plusdesignbuild to do a take off of the floor in the house I created. I opened the floor tab and and there was nothing for the flooring ( 4x8x23/32 sheeting) just Beams/plates and Joists. I have looked to make sure it was included in layers and it was and it is also included under tags. I clicked the eye on both the layers and tags to make sure that they would disappear and appear again and they did. I closed and reopened the program and also tried different layers to see if the flooring got on a different layer in the takeoff tool but I couldn’t find it. Since I’m a new user I can only add 1 attachment let me know if you need to see more and I will try to attach it. Please advise.

@Steve_B I assume you used the PlusSpec tools to create the floor, or did you add a texture with Sketchup?
This video shows how to add flooring (without floor joists) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy551tJJlDY&list=PLNRcN-A1tOExbLzAtoEpj73zawFVsheiw&index=2

If you want to create flooring with the joist tool:

1. Go to the floor tool

2. Click the joist icon

3. Click Submit

4. Draw 3 points inside Sketchup, and your floor will appear.
   

5. You can also create a face of any shape or size; right-click the face and click +
   

   

To quantify a floor in PlusDesignBuild

1. Right click the floor
2. Click + Takeoff & click selection only
3. The BOQ will open (you can us the search to find the name)
4. Click on the flooring /Decking tag in the BOQ
