Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] extensible surfaces
Look at the Surface:Shading:Detached:Building object in the IDD file.
Then change the semi-colon on the last input to a comma (i.e N19,
instead of N19;).
N19, \field Vertex 6 Z-coordinate
\units m
\type real
Then copy N17 - N19 as many times as needed. Then change the last field
to have the semi-colon. For example, if you want 10 vertices:, copy
N17-N19 4 times.
Remember to change the very last input to have a semi-colon.
N31; \field Vertex 10 Z-coordinate
\units m
\type real
