[Equest-users] error trying to create a new window in Dedit mode

[Paul Brooks]

Thank you.

I stumbled across the glass types not too long after I sent out the email.

Thanks again for all of your friendly input and suggestions for me and everyone 
else here

Hi Paul,

Creating a window & specifying/inputing glass performance are two separate 
parameters.   I find the easiest way for me to manage input details when I 
create new windows is to copy a window on the same wall and then with this 
'copied' window I modify the dimensions and x-y coords to where I want the new 
window.   This works better for me than saying "create new window".  


Then you assign a glass to this window which is where the SC & U values are 
specified for the glass properties.   Scroll further down on your component tree 
(after constructions) and you will find "glass types" which is where you can 
create a new glass type that will be specified with your new window.

hope this helps.
Pasha

I have graduated to the Detailed edit mode for my model.  I am trying to create 
a new child component (window) for a wall.  I get an error that will not let me 
continue.  I have been trying to modify an existing window, but cannot get the 
screen to let me do what I need, which is to input the SC and U value of a 
window, at this pint I am making a 90.1 complant window.  This should not be 
this hard.
