If it is very important to you then it is definitely worth investigating. If it would only be occasionally convenient then it's probably not. Anywhere in between is a judgment call.

It is dependable?</BLOCKQUOTE> The short answer is "no". AC pays no attention whatsoever to the fills that you assign to skins in a composite. The only way that this information is used to create material takeoffs (and from there, estimates), is by your (the user) coding a property script that does the work.<BR /> <BR /> Once you have written the appropriate script ... and it will only be as dependable as the correctness of your coding ... THEN AC can be said to read the information.<BR /> <BR /> So, while Matthew suggests "yes and no" ... I suggest "no and yes". <E>;-)</E><BR /> <BR /> Karl Fri, 13 Feb 2004 22:44:26 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Estimate-in-AC/m-p/7648#M484 Karl Ottenstein 2004-02-13T22:44:26Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Estimate-in-AC/m-p/7649#M485 <BLOCKQUOTE>Karl wrote:<BR /><BLOCKQUOTE>YA.H.VE wrote:<BR />So, while Matthew suggests "yes and no" ...
