Then, I think you ask DB about that. Or try to fool it into thinking there is a V7.0 installed on your system.

Or take a deep breath and use the DB beta.

Yes, Linda. DB does that but I need .idf files too. Actually, I have been doing what you just described for months (exporting .idf files from DB and convert them to V7.1 using Energy + conversion feature). Recently, however, the DB is not even allowing me to export those .idf files and gives me a compatibility error. To export the idf files, DB is asking for an Energy Plus folder that contains E+ V 7.00036 but the one I have is V7.1. That is where the problem comes from.

In fact, in spite of some improvements, DB beta versions usually have some even basics issues, which they are still working on. I know it from experience with its different v2 versions in the past (e.g. the DB rendering feature stopped working all of a sudden). I am in a middle of rather delicate study and won't afford it. Would you know by any chance any place that one could download E+ 7.0?
