The number one misunderstanding for HeavyBid users is the difference between System Wide and Local files. It is critical for an estimator to understand how the local and system wide material databases interact. It is not uncommon for me to meet estimators who have used HeavyBid for over 10 years that are confused on this.  Download this video and watch it a few times and then do a test in one of your estimates so that you really understand the two material databases and how they work in an estimate.
