Editing Material Pricing

To edit the price of an inserted element:

Select the element in your drawing. You can select multiple elements of the same type using Shift+click.
Right-click and select Properties, or select Edit > Modify Elements > Properties.
In the properties dialog, select the Quantity tab.
Edit the value in the Price edit box. Note that prices are unit prices. For a carpet, for example, you would enter the price per square foot, not the price of the entire carpet.
Click OK in the properties dialog.

To edit material pricing in the catalog:

Select File > Catalogs > Catalog Manager, or right-click an element in the catalog and select Catalog Manager.
From the Element drop box, select the element type you want to edit.
In the Select a Type window, select the group containing the element you want to edit.
In the Select an Element window, select the element to edit.
Select Catalog > Element Properties, or right-click and select Properties.
In the properties dialog, select the Quantity tab.
Edit the value in the Price edit box. Note that prices are unit prices. For a carpet, for example, you would enter the price per square foot, not the price of the entire carpet.
Click OK in the properties dialog.
Click OK.

Most elements have a default unit price set for them in their properties. These prices are used in the project estimate.

If you have already created your design, you can edit the prices of inserted elements by selecting them in the drawing, then editing their properties. Alternatively you can generate and save a project estimate, then edit the pricing in the estimate’s associated editor, such as Excel or Notepad (depending on the report template used).
