The Model Inspector is started by clicking Tools > Model Inspector on the main menu. It is also shown each time calculations are completed. The feature may be turned on/off from the Project Group > Options menu or from within the Model Inspector.
This utility examines the data that has been entered for the base building and each improvement package to catch common data input errors.
