RS Means rounding rules are as follows:

$300.01 to $1,000.00

Select the Enable Rounding checkbox to enable rounding; otherwise, no rounding is performed. Click Apply to save your changes and continue working.

Note: Consider the following when you change the setting of the Enable Rounding checkbox:
  • You must Recalculate the Estimate after you change the setting of the Enable Rounding checkbox.
  • Changing the setting of the Enable Rounding checkbox does not affect items you have already taken off.
  • The Enable Rounding checkbox can be set differently for estimate globals and catalog globals. To avoid confusion, Viewpoint recommends that you set the Enable Rounding checkbox the same for both catalog globals and estimate globals.
