Managing Calculation Tools in Your Projects and Designs

Updated over a month ago

When you create a new project, you can choose the calculation tools you want to use. You can find these settings on your project's main page.

Selecting tools for a new project

Click 'Get started' on your project's main page.

When creating the first design, select from the tools available on your license that you wish to have available in the project.

You can enable several tools on the same design, for example, using the same design data to conduct different LCA methodology calculations, such as LEED and Level(s), or complementary calculations such as Building Circularity or Life Cycle Costing. Just make sure that the tools can use the same data (using a tool that dictates a specific generic database or that uses environmental data that is not available in other tools will create compatibility issues across your enabled tools).

Once the tools are selected, choose those you wish to use for the specific design.
