Using ArchiCAD for Estimating

[Anonymous]

Hello, all!

I need help! I've been using ArchiCAD at my company for about 2 years now, and I had no prior experience with the program. I have been taught the basics, and have gotten along well with my skill level until now. My company is trying to move towards automating all our estimating figures. How do I even begin? There are several figures that need to be populated, as you can imagine, and I'm not experienced enough to know exactly all AC10 is capable of. And the fact that I'm now using a Mac (which I've never used before in my life!) isn't making this process any easier for me!

Any help or guidance wold be very much appreciated!

Hello I am relatively new to ArchiCad but I do have many years of
quantity surveying experience for houses and other small projects.

I have not yet found a program to trust other than Excel with hand input
of data. I have imported data from other 3d simple model programs.
