<DIV>Ronan,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have only needed to use the interface on one project so far. I didn't use the REVIT template, but instead imported the geometry into IES and created the necessary elements there. Window construction, wall construction, scheduling etc. was all done within the IES ModelIT. The constructions were then assigned to the various components in the model. I didn't note whether the templates were exported or if the default templates within IES were being used initially.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are you able to add an external shading device to the window (hovering in space)? I have done this on a regular IES model but not one imported from Revit.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have just upgraded to REVIT MEP 2009, there may be some added features within the software now to create new templates.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Sorry, if that wasn't any help.</DIV>
