<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt">hello <u></u>
trnsys-users<u></u>,<br>
i can not undetstand, why there is a slope difinition in the window type. slope means something about orientation. but the orientation is already descript in zone definition, isn't it? or it means each different slope should be a window type, even if everything
else are same? <br>
and I built a simple modell in sketchup with trnsys3d. when i look deeper, in the idf and b17 file, every window type has the same slope 90.<br>
i'm a little confused. <u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
