It's always bugged me that you have to define the conditioned/unconditioned/plenum keyword twice, once at the space level and once at the zone level. It seems like it would be fairly simple to use some if/then statements and some BDL functions to have the zone TYPE keyword default to the corresponding space ZONE-TYPE keyword value. I recently put together an expression that does just that (see below) however after inserting this expression as a Use Defined Expression and saving the file, the file no longer opens and results in eQUEST crashing during the load process. If defined as a User Defined Default, after the save and reopen, eQUEST overwrites my default expression and gives me an error for not having the TYPE as the first keyword at the zone level.<div>
<br></div><div>Is this a known bug? Is there no way to have the zone and space conditioned type keywords be related to one another?</div><div><br></div><div>Here's the expression:</div><div><br></div><div><div>if(#LR("SPACE","ZONE-TYPE")==#SI("CONDITIONED","SPACE","ZONE-TYPE"))</div>
