Cost, prices and catalog
Prices
Section titled “Prices”The software does not know market prices, and does not claim to. The reference book (a dated survey of the Tehran market) shows every item with a confidence tag: “Market” means this exact item had a price, “Derived” means it was worked out from a priced item, “Estimate” means a guess. Labor rates are all estimates — the first thing you should replace with your own shop’s rates.
Cost in the top bar opens the dashboard: the priced total, the items without a price (which are not in the total — so the number is the minimum cost, not the final cost), the confidence bar, and the breakdown by group. “Edit prices” takes the price of each item; “Approximate update” fetches today’s dollar rate and moves every price by the same ratio — an approximation.
Price books
Section titled “Price books”Save a vendor’s prices with a name, city and date, and “Use” them in later projects. JSON export/import for exchanging them with others.
One sheet less
Section titled “One sheet less”The biggest hidden cost: one small part makes you buy a whole extra sheet. “Find” tries the width of each free cabinet at ±1 to 3 cm (and its neighbor the opposite way) and only makes a suggestion where the sheet count actually drops; one click applies it, with undo. If it finds nothing, it says so honestly.
Variants
Section titled “Variants”“High-gloss or melamine?” — make a variant (front and carcass materials) and press “Compare”: the sheets, cost and errors of each variant side by side. “Adopt” applies the variant to the project.
Sheet and hardware catalog
Section titled “Sheet and hardware catalog”Edit → Sheet and hardware catalog…: sheets, sheet sizes, edge banding, countertops, hinges, slides, legs, handles, fasteners, baskets and fittings. Your own items override the built-in catalog and are saved with the project; every change is checked before it is saved. The name and price you enter here for a screw or a basket are exactly what appears in the bill of materials — unless the project’s price book has a different number. A built-in item you changed is marked “Edited”; Revert to built-in in that item’s form restores the built-in catalog values, and Remove from catalog removes an item of your own — Undo brings either back.
