  Jeff,

   

  Yes, you can do everything you need to in the detailed mode, though the Wizard is faster for some things.  If you ever have to go back to the Wizard, save the original .pd2 and .inp files in a separate folder.  That way you can compare the file that was edited in detail mode with the file that you stepped back into the Wizard with, and pull what you need into the new file with a text editor.

   

  As far as responses to the thread, yes, that's the way to do it.  Most conversations re: modeling we'd all like to hear the answer, so reply all - the response will go to the person you're responding to and to the list..

  Thank you so much for the haste response. I really do appreciate it. So once I have built my building and entered all I can in the building creation wizard, I can just work straight in the detailed interface only without having to return to the wizard?

   

  Also, is this the proper way to respond to the thread?

   

  Thanks

  Jeff

    It is not possible to save the changes you've made in detailed edit mode if you want to return to the wizard, unless you go into the .inp file and copy all of the information that you know you have changed.  Most everything you do in the building creation wizard can be done in detailed edit mode so I think your question should really be how do you do what you want done in the wizard in detailed edit mode.

    Hi,

    I am a new user and I have a few questions. I am still not sure how this message board/posting works and I hope I am doing this right. I have developed my building in the DD Wizard and I have inputed as much information as I can. I have created 6 air handlers that all have single duct VAV boxes with hot water reheat. My question is: 

    When I go to the Detailed Interface to edit the inputs for the boxes or the air handlers, even just to rename the items, and then return to the Building Creation Wizard it deletes all these changes I made (yes I do get the message warning me). How do I make these inputs remain as I have edited them in the Detailed Interface? I am aware that this may be a very simple, amateur question, but I cant seem to find how to input the more detailed information into the boxes and the air handlers than in the Detailed Interface. And, if I need to go into the Building Creation wizard to make an edit, I dont want to lose all the changes. I have gone through the tutorial, but it does not go into great detail about this (atleast not that I have found yet.). Please Help!!!

     

    Thanks everyone!
