[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Problems with adding rows with IDD file

["pzhaocsm" <pzhaocsm@xxxxxxxxx>]

By the way, I also have added the three objects in the text editor , but I still can not see those three rows show up in the idf editor. But I receive errors when I click the "edit idf editor", it says "object type not reconized...", which is exactly the same when I tried to open the idf editor of the "EMSDemandManager_LargeOffice.idf". Does this mean the extended rows are already added? Even I can not actually see them in the idf editor?

Thanks a lot!
