Perfect! 👍🏻

Hi there, there is one more question. In term of time-related cost as you described in this tutorial, not all labor types, say electricians, plumbers etc, are needed through the project duration, so we can set the them in calc to comply with actual site conditions, right? In other words, people can set as many as necessary effective durations in , as staff and su-contractors get involved in the project and complete their tasks at different milestones, so time-related costs vary.

Hi @wiebittetube, this is correct - it's completely flexible, there are no confines in the calc sheet, if you had a different figure - you would simply enter this and have it as a different named cell, which can be referenced anywhere.

Good presentation. My question is, what if the set of drawing has been changed, how can we keep the relink of the value to the drawings of newer version. I know we can compare the difference by using the function set in costx. Yet the best way is to relocate the live link from old drawings to the newer one, so time and energy can be saved then.

Hi @wiebittetube, I'm glad you enjoyed our tutorial! If you're talking about receiving new drawings as part of a revisioning process, then the use of our Revisions functionality might be better suited. When using revisions, after a drawing is promoted to a new revision (with a new drawing file selected), the dimensions taken on the previous drawing are displayed on top of the new drawing in the drawing window. Hope that helps!
