Cast-In Material Summary
Introduction

A document is created for each element type.
If there is a MEP-key (Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP)) component where MTO is set to 1 the MEP key is also included in the report.
Report Setup
General report setup. All the fields have to be filled as it prints a sum row at the end of each page.
Page max X and Page max Y defined the maximum size of the report page.
The X-axis is the columns A, B, C etc. The Y-axis is the rows 1, 2, 3 etc.
Continuous Header Row defines in which row the header and footer start, and in this case, it starts from row 0.
Continuous Start Row (in this case from row 11) is where the main information starts and Continuous End Row (in this case until row 35) is where the main information ends.
The last field is not filled therefore will there not be a summary at the end of the page.
Header setup:
Here is how the header is set up for this report.
As you can see we have different X and Y values for each field. This is done so the program knows where to put in the specific information into the report.
As mention above, the continuous header starts at row 0 to row 10 in the Y direction.
