Jim,Â

i think this is a good idea too.Â

I'm lookingÂ for a goodÂ hvac diagram viewer too. I don't know if we have this.

I'm searching because it's impossible to use SVG file in internet explorer if the model is big model. Internet explorer can make a maximum of zoom, 1000%. In this case, for me, it's impossible to see the diagram. The zoom limit is not sufficient.

Thanks for all!

Hi Jason,

Â

It would be great if you can consider the following three. They are relevant to the jEPlus users:

Â

1. Make the IDF editor tolerate Unix line ends ('\n').

2. Provide an option to disable value checks on the input fields. This may be a little complicated to implement, but it will allow users to input search tags (for parametrics) in the fields.

3. Offer an option to choose an alternative epl-run script (sorry, this is EP-Launch, I suppose). In this way user can switch between simulation targets without having to edit the batch file.

Â

Cheers,

Â

Yi

Jason,

I hope that you are well!

One thing that I'd love to see is this:

It should "remember" the last viewing setup, e.g., full or partial screen, display all objects or in-use objects.Â I'm always using Ctrl-L to make the display show only in-use objects and always making the display full-screen.
Thanks for asking.

If you use IDF Editor extensively and have ideas on how it
can be made easier to use please let me know. I am
especially interested in ideas on how to reduce
time-consuming repetitive actions that would be simple for
me to program. Here are the current GitHub issues related to
IDF Editor:

https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AIDFEditor

Please email me directly and I will compile a list of
suggestions and post a summary.

Thanks

Jason
