[Equest-users] set window % in wizard & reported in LV-D report

Playing with this dummy model a little further, I've found the presence of doors on the ground floor will slightly mess with the wizard's efforts to match your prescribed percentages exactly.  Removing them from the dummy model (previous wizard screen), the LV-D results ring in at exactly 40%.

Have a great weekend!

LV-D can be tricky as well to use, intuitively.  Be mindful that you're dividing the right numbers:

Christian:

I am not at a computer that has eQuest on it. But I wonder if the Wizard is l.oloking a the Window to NET wall ratio and LV-D is the Window to GROSS wall ratio.

I am always leery of the Wizard.

I am setting the % of window floor-to-floor at 40 percent and window width to zero in the DDE wizard, yet the LV-D reports only 28%. What would cause this?

Thank you in advance.
