When I import a project from BCA Version 4.1.3 to the latest version of BCA 4.5, will it be automatically updated with the revised values?
No. The values that have been updated in BCA Version 4.5.5 are intentionally not automatically substituted if you import a project from Version 4.1.3. The software was designed this way to prevent historical data from being accidentally changed. For example in the DFA module, the default potable water “Value per Unit of Service ($/person/day)” was corrected from $88/person/day in Version 4.1.3 to $93/person/day in Version 4.5.5. Importing a Version 4.1.3 BCA project using the DFA module with loss of potable water service into Version 4.5.5 does not automatically change the default value of service. To update the value, select another “Type of Service” radio button (i.e., Electrical or Wastewater), then re-select the Potable Water radio button. This will update the Potable Water “Value per Unit of Service ($/person/day)” from $88 to $93.
