Can I change the AMDTreat default values for costs, etc.?
Yes, this capability is provided. This feature, in the Tools menu, allows the user to change all default values and retain the new default settings for use in future cost calculations. Note, however, that changes made to the default values do not take effect until the next time a New project is started in AMDTreat, the changes do not affect existing projects or saved files. Version 4 of AMDTreat also provides a global defaults screen where a one-time change will change all instances of commonly used elements. (e.g., One place to globally change all instances of the cost of limestone.) In addition, version 4.1 allows the user to Export and Import an unlimited number of Default Value sets. One way the user may use this function would be to save Default Value sets for different geographic or cost regions. The appropriate Default Value set could then be recalled when cost modeling a New treatment scenario for that region.
