When you create a GRID system and define the Grid balloons, if the grid is not orthogonal to the view ie a building is not horizontal, when the grid is placed, the balloon text is placed at an odd angle. These text are unable to be rotated to the ...

On Hevacomp, you were able to add your company logo to results such as Heat Loss and Heat Gain. It would be good if the same can be done for open buildings energy simulator results.

In a federated model, if I have 2 walls in separate files, it can be very difficult to clean up walls that are interacting between different models. We need to allow the Connect Wall tool (specifically connect as L Parallel and Connect Forms as L ...
