I’d go for perimeter markups rather than polylength so that as many markups as possible can be click and drag rectangles, then I would make sensible compromises/subtractions for doorways and nooks. Waste ratios in base are relatively high. If it’s the exact same base spec in every single room then you can just make two tools, one for “Base…

Long story short, it exploits a weird math equality to allow for me to create a select column called “cost type” which determines how the cost is calculated in the total column. I have options for the following:

– “Cost x M”…
