To change the properties of an assigned unit

Certain properties of an assigned compatible unit or macro unit can be changed to meet design requirements. Changing these properties often affects design costs. The changes have no effect on the definition of the unit in the Units Catalog.

If the Scrap and Salvage check boxes are selected, Bentley OpenUtilities Designer will include these credits in the cost calculations for the design.
