Hope that is of some use?


The piece that is still required is linking a ...

Hi,

Hope that helps.



get_wwr() provides a single WWR for the entire building. I'm hoping to get a WWR for each orientation (North, South, East, West), like it is ...

A single surface can have multiple openings (doors, windows, etc), and each of those openings can have a different construction applied to it.
As the API currently is, you can only get a combined area for each type of opening, and a ...

I'd like to recreate the Vertical Fenestration by orientation (Above-grade Wall and Vertical Glazing Area by Orientation) section from the Model report.
I've run into 2 road blocks:
There is no way to determine above-grade / below-grade for a room, so the WWR includes all below grade spaces.
You ...
