Pricing Additional Elements

In This Topic

The Additional Elements Manager of the Drawing Properties allows additional elements required in the overall cost of a job, such as electrians, plumbers etc., to be added and each element can be assign a price. You can also add new categories here, then you can add elements in each category, such as Plumber etc.

A miscellaneous, Misc Addition / Misc Object, item can be added to your job/drawing, as these are used for additional pricing of items such as electrician or plumber or any other additional item you want to price inside CabMasterPro. Simply can add a Misc Additional item to your drawing and select the category and associated element you want to price on your job.

These are not the same as Advanced Objects, which allows you to add/maintain a 3D model with optional machining.
