I have used SoftList only in a limited way in the past, but am getting more requests for material lists for my drawings. I am working in V2018. Is it possible to use takeoff items in a standard report? Most of my materials are calculated with formulas, but there are some items that I think would be easier to use a highlighter. Example, I have a project with some of the footings requiring 48" wide frost protection over the footings, some requiring 24" wide insulation and some not requiring any. There would likely be a way to do it if I included the Site drawing in my model, but I would rather not do that.

I tried creating takeoff items in my material list, but it won't allow me to specify a particular highlighter, just the complete library.
