Desktop Release Notes

• Model and InEight Estimate DTO integration– You can now sum DTO object quantities and sync with Estimate at the parent level. Previously, you could only sum object quantities at the child level. Read more

  To sum object quantities at the parent level in Estimate, select a parent CBS item, define applicable UDF fields 12 through 15 by entering your information, and then select Send Selected CBS to Model.

  

  In Model’s DTO panel, you can select the parent level DTO, sum its quantities in the Actions tab, and then run the selected DTO to create the quantities. In Estimate, select Sync Model Quantities, and then select the quantities to push them to Estimate. For more information about summing quantities at the parent level, see the new Summing quantities using a parent cost item section in Model and Estimate integration using the Model Connector.

• InEight Estimate user defined field integration with Model – When you send CBS items from Estimate to Model, you can now use the User Defined 11 field as a UoM tag in all levels of the CBS structure and integrate with the Quantity Type Tag name in the DTO’s Action tab in Model. You do not have to select the UoM drop-down list to select from it. Read more

  In the User Defined 11 field in Estimate, type a valid Model tag name you can use for summing quantities in Model, and then select Send Selected CBS to Model.

  

  In Model > DTO > Actions > Quantity Type, it shows the tag name from the User Defined 11 field in Estimate. For more information about user-defined fields, see the new User-Defined Fields topic.
