How to Create Dynamic Cost Assemblies with Archicad Objects!
In this tutorial, learn how to create dynamic cost assemblies that automatically calculate when you adjust the size of an object.
In this example, we'll use a common casework object, building up the cabinet, countertop, and backsplash all into a single dynamic cost assembly!
