The help for your cost system |
-
It is possible to use the Cost Management feature without importing a model or completing quantification set-up. However, if those steps are not completed, users cannot select a cost item and see it highlighted in the model.
-
Right now, Smart Build Insight only integrates with EcoSys.
Once the feature is set up, a user can pull the cost information into Smart Build Insight. For more information, see Get cost data into Smart Build Insight.
