Creating Pricing Calculations in ShedMate
1. Introduction to Pricing Calculations 0:00
-
Welcome to the training session.
-
Previous session covered creating a pricing database.
-
This session focuses on linking pricing database items to pricing calculations.
2. Accessing Pricing Calculations 0:17
-
Navigate to Shedmate and click on pricing calculations.
-
Note that no items are quantified yet.
3. Creating Pricing Calculations 0:25
-
Start creating pricing calculations using the sum items tool.
-
Example item: corrugated iron entry in iron cladding.
4. Using Multiple Tabs for Efficiency 0:53
-
Duplicate the Google Chrome tab for easy access between design and pricing.
5. Linking Items to Calculations 1:19
-
Show all items under visibility.
-
Link the corrugated cladding and trimmed deck cladding to calculations.
6. Navigating Between Pricing and Calculations 2:00
-
Choose to stay in pricing editing or navigate to calculations after linking.
7. Exploring the Pricing Calculation Panel 2:23
-
Open the pricing calculation panel for iron cladding.
-
Modify item name and description.
8. Understanding Calculation Item Types 3:45
-
Two options for calculation item type: primary and secondary.
-
Discuss the impact of selecting primary.
9. Adding Rules for Calculations 4:04
-
Add a rule to calculate the item based on properties from the BIM model.
10. Selecting Properties for Quantification 4:50
-
Choose the correct property (e.g., length) for quantification.
11. Adjusting Item Categories 5:25
-
Change item category to cladding for accurate quantification.
12. Saving the Database 5:45
-
Save the database as a template for the course.
13. Adding Conditional Modifiers 6:34
-
Use conditional modifiers to specify which cladding to quantify.
14. Finalizing the Pricing Calculation 8:10
-
Save the calculation and observe the quantified items.
15. Understanding Primary vs. Secondary Items 9:34
-
Explain the difference between primary and secondary items in quantification.
16. Using Mathematical Operations in Pricing 11:53
-
Discuss how to multiply, subtract, or add specific numbers to final prices.
17. Inspecting the Model for Quantified Items 12:32
-
Check the model for linear meters and total price of items.
18. Copying Rules for Efficiency 13:06
-
Demonstrate how to copy rules for similar items to streamline the process.
19. Grouping Items for Organization 14:13
-
Create groups for items (e.g., Shed Material) for better organization.
20. Setting Markups and Taxes 15:06
-
Specify markup and taxes for the grouped items.
21. Creating New Items for Pricing 16:04
-
Create new items (e.g., C200-24) and link them to calculations.
22. Adding Rules for New Items 19:07
-
Add rules for new structural frames and specify conditions.
23. Finalizing Pricing Calculations 20:21
-
Review and finalize pricing calculations for all items.
24. Conclusion and Next Steps 21:02
-
Encourage practice and repetition for better understanding of pricing rules.
