[Equest-users] User-Defined Default Expressions - GLASS-TYPE

Since we have a good thread going with expressions, I'll share an expression that assigns GLASS-TYPE based on WINDOW-TYPE and window orientation. In this case, south-facing windows (180 degrees, +/- 20 degrees) are assigned their own glass type. The part of the expression that determines orientation (in bold) can be used in other expressions for WINDOW keywords as you see fit.

   GLASS-TYPE       =
{if(#L("WINDOW-TYPE")!=#SI("STANDARD","WINDOW","WINDOW-TYPE"))
  then #SI("2Dome Acrylc White, Alum no Brk", "WINDOW", "GLASS-TYPE") else
if(#L("WIN-SPEC-METHOD")==#SI("GLASS-TYPE-INPUT","WINDOW","WIN-SPEC-METHOD"))
then if (ABS(#CDN(#P("AZIMUTH")+#P2("AZIMUTH")+
   #G("BUILD-PARAMETERS","AZIMUTH"), #P("TILT")) - 180) <20)
   then #SI("Type South U .19 SHGC .58", "WINDOW", "GLASS-TYPE")
   else #SI("Type Other U .22 SHGC .36", "WINDOW", "GLASS-TYPE") endif
else unused endif endif}

Nick,

I'm not sure why your specification method is blank.  Do you have "no_def" in the user expression?  If you set the specification method to "composite" a dialog box should appear under specification method that allows you to select the type of glass.

Probably I'm missing something obvious... but is there no way to review/edit glass type assignment in detailed mode window properties?  I've managed with creating expressions / reviewing / editing via the spreadsheet view but this has started bugging me as I keep catching myself looking for something I don't think is actually there...
