Do you mean Karl that there is no need for multiple properties and that it can be accompished inside archicad with current means?
I am really waiting for your book. Will it be ready this year?Thanks! If my schedule doesn't keep filling up, I hope to have it ready when AC 10 ships. It will be based on AC 10 (with comments that address differences for people still using older versions). I have no idea when AC 10 will ship, but my schedule itself will keep me from having the book ready before early 2006.

Archicad has a way to calculate materials. Its called property scripts.
For example i create a wall. The property scripts says that the wall has bricks insulation stucco, paint, and gives the quantities per unit. I can even add a manual cost field and propably have some hard estimations.
The problem with this approach is, it instead of a 2cm of stucco i decide to have a 3cm stucco, and instead of polyesterin as an insulation i decide to have something else, i have to create alternative property scripts...

I don't know of any standard objects that have scripts written in this window...I just kow its there. It would be nice to see an example...I just don't know of any. Open any object and see. As far as I can tell you could write scripts in all of your objects specifically and parametrically related to that object.

If i could attach a script and additional parameters to every archicad object, then ofcourse everything is solved.
For example i could attach a parameter "stucco" in cm and the property script would read that value. But for now i cannot parametrically create property scripts (or can i ?? ).
I really wait for Karl's book and AC10
