Re: VistaPro Opening Arrows

I am sure you have enabled the Macroflo and have a correct opening profile for the windows.
You turn on the 3d Visual Analysis (Model Viewer).
You choose a room or more and set the time for checking at the bottom right date tab.

You then go to the Macroflo Arrows Tab and in the filtering tab select ...

Light Shelves Simulation

The light shelf has a reflectance of 0,96 and specularity of 0,98 according to the official specs of the product. The surface of the shelf is pressed aluminum foil ASTM B211 with a roughness of 0.0013mm

The problem is that although the ...

Re: Drawing Window Frames as 'Doors'

I am following the same process for daylighting and Flucs and Radiance simulation.
I am modelling the frame with door surfaces because otherwise the results are unrealistic if I use only glass with a frame percentage that is only considered in apache for thermal reasons. For the daylighting ...

"ACTIVE" option for simulation

It would have been usefull to have a second tick box in the room groups for activation and deactivation (like the tick box already there for view on-off) in the simulation process like suncast or apache. Turning on and off layers is really time consuming. Trying to check several senarios becomes ...

Re: Population Profile 500-2500-500

The 1 minute step should show exactly the changes of the population.
Can you upload a picture of the profile set?

Thank you

Re: Population Profile 500-2500-500

Try to decrease the simulation time step. IF the change happens the 15 minutes and the time step is 30 then you get an average prise. A step of 1 minute will describe the change better. Try that for a smaller period (1 month) and check the results.
This might be the problem.

Re: Possible BUG

The latest hotfix for the feature pack 1 didn't solve the problem.
The right click for focus and eye position is not available.

Was this removed on purpose?

Anybody else to confirm this??

Re: TM52 Report

Thank you very much for the info.
Macroflo is enabled and a temperature opening step is set for the windows.
When I set an one minute simulation step the results are analytical and I can check the response of the building to the changes of the external temperature and air which looks absolutely ...

Possible BUG

After the latest update with the Feature Pack 1 the right double click function for setting the eye and focus position does not work. It is not there and this is really frustrating.
I had to revert back to the hotfix version.
