Mark,
It sounds like your entering glass using the wizard and taking advantage of the %window by orientation feature. I suppose you could double the WWR for south-facing and adjust it until you get all the desired windows where you want them. Then you would only have to delete the extra windows (easy) and not have to add them (harder). No, you can't point to a large wall and enter "50" for total windows. You can, however, enter one (or a few) large window (250' x 5') but then you'd have to calculate the effective frame size, assembly U-value etc. Plus that would give you problems if you were modeling daylighting, which does better with more windows rather than one large one.
Regards,
Bill

I have a question regarding glazing please.  Let's say I have a U-shaped building that only has glass on the outside (U-facing WEST).  If I want to put 50 5'x5' windows on the south side (outside of the U only), I have to enter window size then window to wall ratio, then go into custom window and delete the south-side windows INSIDE the U shape then ADD them back to the south side of the OUTSIDE of the shape ...

Isn't there any way from the beginning to say "put 50 windows on THIS side" and point to a specific wall?

Thanks
Mark
