Does anyone know of a way or where it is at to change the name used for wall materials?  For instance, I want to rename Siding A to "Cement Siding" and Siding B to " Vinyl Siding"  Siding C to "Aluminum Siding" , etc.

These materials are burned into the code for SoftPlan and SoftList.

There are many formulas which come loaded with SoftList and they use these names for their calculations.

Changing the names would invalidate the formulas.

Last time I checked with support (a couple of versions ago) it was not possible to change the names.

Okay.  I thought it would be something like that.  I will just keep a cross reference sheet until they become permanently memorized.
