Course Description
This course aims to inform and demonstrate the principles of 2D measurement using CostX®.
info The exercises are based around the use of example files and templates which have been developed for demonstration and training purposes only. Actual implementation of the software and templates will depend on users own resources and specific reporting requirements.

Module 1 Course Setup
In this module you will learn how to open CostX®, create a new Project, and create a new Building associated with that Project, add and prepare a variety of common two dimensional drawing file formats for measurement (by rotating and scaling or calibration, etc) and compare one drawing with another.
-
Module 2 Dimensions
In Module 2, you will learn how to add Dimension Groups and all of their associated properties, different types of measurements utilizing Point and Line Mode, as well as all the different options and features.
info In CostX®, Dimensions are measured from drawings and placed into Dimension Groups, which are themselves collected together in Dimension Group Folders. Once established, Dimension Groups can be held in templates or libraries ready for use on future jobs, with new Dimension Groups being created as needed. In this module, we shall add Dimension Groups and use various techniques applicable to the differing drawing types to measure areas, lengths and counts.

Module 3 Shortcuts and Outputs
In Module 3, you will learn all the different shortcuts to utilize in the Dimension View as well as the various outputs available.
