Materials list for Deck in Landscape & Deck listing thousands of boards?
I'm new to using the program - I've put together a first try at a deck design, but when I select the deck area in a rectangle and calculate the materials list for the selected area, it lists over 4,000 boards. I've attached a picture of the floor plan and the materials list. Am I doing something wonky, or am I just not reading the materials list correctly?
Thanks

looks like you are seeing total linear feet and not number of boards. Go into edit/default settings/Structual Member Reporting and change from "total linear length" to one of the other choices that suits your needs. This is how I do it in Hd pro12. I don't know what you are using but assume it would be done the same way.

the curved deck may have it confused , you have a lot of different width boards there from one deck, hopefully bart's advice will help but I find the materials list to be no where near real world counts usually.
