[Equest-users] Daylighting Wizard Screen Not Available WhenSelecting 'YES"?

[Nick Caton]

Robert et al, 

 

I realize this is from nearly half a year ago, but I might have some new
insight as I'm running into the same problem.  When you said "building
components," did you mean 2 of the 4 shells?

 

If so, were those two problem shells multi-story or otherwise distinct
from the other two?  Did either have custom windows defined?

 

I'm running into the same problem with one of five shells now... the
problem shell is multistory (3 levels) where the others are not.

 

Selecting "Yes" for daylighting controls in the first shell wizard
screen, and defining custom windows for each level, I cannot get the
expected corresponding screen #11 to show up.  Defining skylights
however does make the screen #11 (Top Floor Daylight Zoning) available -
it's as though the wizard is not "seeing" any windows for daylighting...

 

It is my current guess that the wizards may currently be incapable of
setting up daylight zoning/controls for shells with more than one story,
though the help files don't seem to suggest this anywhere.  Can anyone
on the dev team comment?

FYI to all:  I have selected "Yes" for Daylighting Controls.  For two of
the four building components the wizard screens 9-11 are not available
even when selecting "Yes".  The other two work fine.

Robert,

 

The Schematic Design Wizard has a dropdown option at the bottom of the
first screen:

Daylight Controls:  (Yes | No)

 

The Detailed Design (DD) Wizard has the same option at the bottom of the
first screen that comes up when you go to define/edit a shell.

All:

When selecting 'yes' for daylighting controls in the design development
wizard the daylighting screen does not appear for editing.  Has anyone
experienced this and how can I get the screen to appear in the wizard?

 

Thanks -

Robert
