Thanks a lot Didier....now I have to study for some weeks/months to come......first learning it....then showing it to 'my' Upper Secondary Shool for students in some Building classes to use.....then explaining to the students why it's almost impossible to fully automate the process....

Sorry Dan.....I was just finishing my argueing with Didier with a slightly different question.......

Hello.......any good book for trying learning Ruby scripts......

Very interesting....I have to take up Ruby programming.....could you assign costs to diferent layers.....if you, par example, draw a small building and separating interial and exterial walls to different layers and then attach different materials to the walls you could end up with a cost estimate for the whole building......if one could set different prices to different components as for now it's the last price in for all....what editor do you use?

Merci bien Didier.......I'll take up French one of these days

After you have Assigned Estimate ti Material you can open Assign Estimate PER Material and then there's a palette named 'Validity Check'....seems to contain all ralavant info for Materials in the rollout in Cost by Material.....by the way why are all material from 'black to <Carchoal> listed if they not been assigned a cost?

Great Didier.....I got it working at last.....is it possible to add SEK in currency and perhaps also assign estimate to group/groups & components.....just to get an overall Estimate for the project........and can I save the content in Vality Check
A lot of questions but it seems a great plugin for Cost etsimation

Hi......no here in Sweden we use the en-US version with no translation.....have looked into \Document and Settings\ but there are no lokal folders for Resources .....we are rather lucky in one way up here.....we use all media communication in the original language.....of course with the text-translation on in TV

I've downloaded your attributes.rb but the examples.strings was found in my \Resources\en-US\ folder and looks like in the attached file......anything wrong? ....but how do I get the file into my answer?

Hi Didier.....in SU8/Plugins/Example/attribute.rb.....a simple report generator......could be extended a bit
