Material list quantities are automatically generated based on the property measurements Hover provides. There may be instances where your project scope involves the removal of materials like j-channel, undersill trim, or siding starter strip.
To prevent ordering too much material in those cases, you need to manually update the coverage of a line item quantity.
This article explains how to calculate the new coverage using your Hover measurement PDF, and how to make the manual adjustment to your Material List.

Step 3: Determine how many (pcs) of material are included
Back in the material list, click the calculator icon to see the coverage information
For this example, 1 (pc) of material covers 12 (LF)
Divide the total footage (341) by the LF coverage (12)
28 (pcs) of j-channel are included around the openings
Step 4: Update the line item
Step 4: Update the line item
Subtract 28(pcs) of J-channel included around openings from the overall total of 87(pcs)
