<DIV>Steve,</DIV>
<DIV>If you are running a recent version of Trace, there is an option to run a Performance Rating Method simulation in the main Calculation window. This automatically performs the building rotations for you. Refer to the 'Base Alternative for' pull down for Performance Rating Method in the Calculate and View Results window and select the baseline alternative (you need a proposed and baseline alternative in your project file). </DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>All,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>When creating a model for LEED Submittal in Trane Trace 700 is there an easy way to model the rotations of the baseline model?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have created my design and baseline models to where they need to be; however, I still need to do the rotations. The only way I see to do this is to create an alternative for each rotation and then change the wall and roof orientations for each room created. I have not been able to find a easier way to do this but I would assume that if there is an Appendix G summary report there would be an easier way to model the rotations of the baseline model. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></P>
