<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Per
conversation with Pasha, it appears that a good way to go about a task like
this might be to open the old file that was last saved in wizard mode, or do a "save
as" of the current DE file and then move back into wizard mode. From
there input the skylight (or window) information, save the file, open the new
.inp file and copy the skylight components, open the old DE .inp file and paste
the components, clean up to avoid bdl errors.<o:p></o:p></p>

mode. At least if I have to go back to the wizard for some major
zone adjustments I don't have to create a new file from scratch, or spend the

<p class=MsoNormal>The fastest way to add your windows and skylights is in the
Wizard mode. It is always a good idea to make sure that you have
input your major building characteristics (i.e. footprint, zoning patterns,
windows & skylights) in the wizard before you switch to ddedit mode.
This is the approach I use for my projects....I don't switch to ddedit mode
until I know that my windows & elevations look like they should from the
arch dwgs.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>eQuest Users, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>When you are in detailed edit mode, has anyone found a fast way to add an
array of skylights (or windows)? Let's say that you want 96 2'x4'
skylights in a 8x10 array. Instead of creating 96 skylights and offsetting
them one at a time is there a faster way to do this? This could also
apply to windows or other components. The thermal effects are not of interest
here as much as the day lighting effects.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>(When you use the skylight multiplier Equest warns you that it is
multiplying the amount of light entering that one window and not spreading it
around the roof).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thank You<o:p></o:p></p>
