To View a List of Available Custom Costs

The Custom Costs view lists the various custom costs in the database and any private custom costs you have created. The list includes each item's ID, name, owner, type (public or private), and cost. The Custom Costs view is displayed by selecting the Custom Costs command on the Go menu or by clicking either the Custom Costs folder in the Folder List or the Custom Costs shortcut on the Bentley OpenUtilities Designer Shortcut Bar.

In the Custom Costs view, you can access the Custom Cost Properties dialog box for a particular custom cost when you want to view or modify its properties. For information about assigning a custom cost to a design, see Using the Units Catalog.
