<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’m joining the thread a little late it seems to offer very specific advice, but for what it’s worth I didn’t move to 3.64 from 3.63 until I ran into a project
where one of the new features (photometric scheduling, then) was a real desirable. I dabbled with 3.65 when it first came out to explore the new features, and still have it installed as well for easy reference, but I’m still sitting happily on 3.64 for all
deadline-critical work (which is of course most of it). Absolutely nothing wrong with sticking to what you know works.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I think for many (or at least in my experience) patching together separate wizard-borne .inp files as discussed is one of those skills you only get decent at
after messing it up a few times (and learning what went wrong/why). Wizards can definitely be leveraged to save time generating detailed-mode edits, but you have to be mindful of identically named elements, reference relationships between existing and new
elements, etc… working through these issues will teach you ways to “futureproof” your future models as you run into potentially avoidable issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">@Kevin: From your phrasing… when you say losing all the references, do you possibly mean just the CAD reference for tracing zone/shell perimeters? If so that’s
an easy (ignorable) issue that commonly comes up if you copy/paste your project around and don’t move the CAD reference with it.

its Wizard footprint without going back into the Wizard and blowing out all the DE edits. Architects can’t leave floor plans alone, and inevitably, the final interior zones in a model are different from the zones you started with. My bosses have commented
on this unfortunate issue more then once because it causes deadline delays. </span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">I am entirely disappointed with the so called improvements to equest. Why suddenly when I have a space with an unreferenced zone and I recreate the
reference to about 30 zones, then close and reopen, all work to unreferenced spaces is gone. Also, trying to implement floor plan revisions have always been the worst. This is uncalled for. In the 8 years or so that I have been using this program, it has
improved very little overall and perhaps taken a step backwards in some regards. I have been telling myself to make this project the last one in equest for years now, even doing openstudio side-by-side with equest for the building form for many. It might
be safe to say that equest is no longer the most productive. It does not bring me pleasure to write this, as I will have to do the painstaking process of becoming more familiar with openstudio and wasting a few hundred more hours. However, it seems that
may be more worthwhile than dealing with the glitches and everyday slowisms of equest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
