Notes
Note: For the add-on method
Area Products: the Original Quantity will calculate the net amount for the add-on and flashing coving area on the walls,  Product Usage will calculate the gross amount ( it will match the area product qty, and Floor Area will calculate the net amount)
Linear Products: Base perimeter will calculate along the inside walls of the room ignoring doorways and elevations. Seam length will calculate along any dotted line associated with roll goods.



Idea
Once all your Add-ons are set and your add-on methods are configured and saved, you can repeat these steps to fill out other products or duplicate products that use different sundry items

Section 2: Delete add-on product

Right click on the add-on product to be deleted under Project Items-> Select "Delete"

Info
Info: The 6lb pad nested under the carpet is the proper selection to delete. The additional 6lb pad is the same product, but it will show you the quantities throughout the project, for example when being used with other carpets on the same floor. Deleting this product will remove the product from the project items list and if it is needed again it will need to be remade.
