How do I hold one variable fixed in an ARGUS EstateMaster DF probability run?
One question, answered in full.
Deselect Enable on that variable's row. That is the documented way to hold it fixed for the run.
Before a probability simulation runs, DF prints a table naming every variable the random generator can act on, with a switch on each. Land acquisition costs sit as their own numbered profile, ahead of construction costs and end sale values.
The mistake worth avoiding is leaving a variable enabled with a variation range nobody believes. It does not fail loudly. It feeds noise into the simulated margin and internal rate of return, and the output looks like a result rather than like the assumption it is.
Every highlighted phrase above is the wording the screen prints.
