When you add an Item into a Condition, there are some fields that need to be filled in. This section allows you to set Defaults for this Item which saves you time down-the-road. Condition Detail Default EntriesThese entries override the Condition's values for these fields, for this Item only. For example, if a Condition is a linear wall with a Height of 10 feet but the Item's default Height is set to 8' - when inserted into a Condition, the Item's height will be 8' instead of the Condition's 10' height. This affects the number of pieces one would need (let us say you can only get drywall panels in 8' high sections, even though your wall is 10' high, the Line Item needs to account for the fact that your Material is 8' - and you will need at least two pieces to finish the height of the wall). 
These are default entries and can be changed after the Item is added to a Condition. | Field | What it does/How it is used... |
|---|
| Section | Assign a CSI section number that is most commonly associated with this Item - required field. | | Lab. Cost Code | Assign a Cost Code to which Labor for this Item is allocated - required field for Labor and Material and Labor Items. | | Height | Set a default height for the Item (when set to zero, the Item defaults to the Condition's Height.) Items set to Horizontal Installation Method do not use this value. | | Repeat every | Specify how often an object recurs along a vertical line based on height (for example, when installing drywall, drywall screws are used every vertical foot or so to attach the drywall to the studs - thus, the fastener (a drywall screw) repeats every 12"). Items set to Horizontal Installation Method do not repeat. | | On Center (OC) | Specify how often an object repeats at fixed horizontal intervals (such as wall studs). Items set to Continuous Installation Method do not use this value. | | Rows/Layers | Specify the default number of layers needed to build this Item (multiplier). For example, if you are building a wall, you might have two layers of drywall (one on each side) or one layer, if you are building an wall that is only finished on one side. |
The fields marked with an Arrow, in the screenshot below, are those the ones affected by these defaults.
