UI3 Version History

Version History for ArchViz User Interface 3.

• Added Cost Estimate Widget. This calculates the cost based on user choices. (Object Info - Feature ID 1)
• The Variation Actor has a price array for each variation. This can be used instead of added an Info Object for each variation.
• The price will be listed next to the variation name.
• The cost data can be exported as a CSV table.

This update is for UE5 only. Changing objects require dynamic lighting which is not practical in UE4.
