[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: problem between open studio and energy plus

HI,
i do the geometry, scheulds and building envelope with ecotect building simulation from autodesk, and it is kind of easy over the export template to import to to EPlus. You can download all autodesk programms free as a student with a working student e- mail. There are some little thing to be aware, but a lot you can fix in eplus later on. only the caculation in ecotect could take a few hours, depends on the building.

If you have questions-...

best Marie

However I am finding a lot of problems with open studio, I have install sketch up 8 and now I am trying sketch up 7. My problem is that I create the geometric of the building, a define walls (external or internal), doors and windows. However, when I go to save as idf, open studio does not give you this option. I have try to put it manual example. building001 and then . idf that way it is working however when I go to energy plus to create the material properties, schedules and so on, ones the idf editor was locked I could not modified anything. The rest of the times, if I do any modification on the idf edit and I go back to open studio, the file still there but the complete drawing has disappeared. I would be grateful if you could help me, as i have a project to hand in soon.
