Save a calculation to a project

A saved calculation keeps its inputs and results on a task, so you can open it again, change it and make the task's materials list from it.

Save it#

1. Work out the calculation while signed in.
2. Under the result, select Save to my project.
3. Choose the Project, then the Task, or A new task… with a Room.
4. Leave Add what to buy to the task's materials list ticked to add the items to the task's materials, or untick it.
5. Select Save. The card then links to the task and to the saved calculation.

If you don't have a project yet, name one in the dialog and RenovU starts it with this calculation on a new task.

Not signed in yet? Select Create a free account. The calculation is kept in your browser and, once you've signed up, the tool opens filled in with the save dialog ready.

Find it again#

1. On the task, open the Materials tab: saved calculations are listed above the materials.
2. In the project, open the Calculations tab. It appears once the project has a saved calculation.
3. Select Re-open to open the calculation on its tool page.

Re-run it#

1. Re-open the calculation and change any input, the shop sizes or the waste allowance.
2. Select Save as version 2 (the number follows on). Earlier versions stay in its history, and each one opens read-only.
3. Select Update materials to see what would change on the task's materials list, then confirm. Anything already bought, or recorded as an expense, is left as it is.

Who can save#

You need to be able to update the task's progress, and to create tasks if you're saving to a new one. Simple calculators save on every plan. The wall builders, radiator and air-con calculators need Premium or Professional to save. See Pricing.
