Any Ideas here? How to reference quantities from items to items?

Hey Kyle, in this case, since your item name is using text with tags, you will need to set an "Alt Name" on your continuous footing forms. Assuming you set the alt name to "Continuous Footing Forms" your formula will be "[../../3 Form/Continuous Footing Forms/# of formed sides (1 or 2)]".




I will say, ideally, the property would live on the takeoff to centralize your properties, so the user does not have to track down the source item to change the number of formed sides. We are planning to add the ability to customize the form soon.

I was just going to say, I got it to work by referencing the parent and then pathing down to the item I wanted
