Greg's note:
This book uses ArchiCAD 9 for examples but as noted the same techniques are used in ArchiCAD 7, 8, 10 and 11. A few (3) screen shots of dialog boxes are in French but it's relatively easy to see what the English language equivalents are. It's an excellent book for those looking to learn quantity calculations in ArchiCAD and we have yet to find any others!
