<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> I have been running into
this for the last few days. The answer is as far as I can tell you get
to define one wall and one roof type. Page 2, create one of each by
layer, on page 3, select that as your type. You will have to change
the different ones in the detailed edit mode.</font> Make the rest in
detailed edit and paste them in.<br>
This only applies to simple buildings. The rule still applies on
complex buildings with different foot prints on different levels. When
you do them it is best to carry lots of zones, delete items instead of
create from scratch, change items with links, as you progress upwards.
You can group the zones back together later. Heat transfer areas,
layers, and exposure are most important at this point in the model.<br>

<div>Question: On screen 2 of 25, "Building Footprint" I had
selected the Zone Characterisitcs button, and for each zone attempted
to define the exterior walls and roof. When I go to the spreadsheet
view, I find that the walls are defined by the information on screen 3
of 25, "Building Envelope Constructions". the defined walls do show up
in the "Construcion" list. I had assumed by defining walls as I had I
was golden. I now realize I have to go to detailed edit mode to apply
the correct walls and roofs. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Does anyone know 1) why the information i input does not
automatically become the construction, and 2) by defining walls this
way, have i inadvetantly screwed up my model? </div>
