View and Change the Project Standard in Buildingbook

Change the project standard that determines the specific parameters used for calculating and reporting building part data.

  1. Click Quantification tab Buildingbook Extension panel (Calculation Settings).

    The current project standard displays at the top of the Calculation Settings dialog.

  2. If another standard is required, click Change.
  3. In the Change Buildingbook Standard dialog, under New Standard, specify a different standard.
  4. (Optional) Select Set as default for new projects to ensure future projects will use the same standard.
  5. When complete:
    • Click Restore Defaults to change the default settings of the Previous Standard listed above.
    • Click Cancel to close the Change Buildingbook Standard dialog without making changes.
    • Click OK to change the project standard as specified.

    An additional warning prompt displays to ensure you want to make the specified changes or not. If you change the project standard, all existing Buildingbook data is removed from the project (with the exception of assigned materials if selected in the Change Buildingbook Standard dialog).
