Hello Phil,

Yes, I have all ready made the windows into components (with the opacity between 0 and 100%), rebuilt the model, identified the rooms and tried importing this into VE. Unfortunately VE did not recognize the windows / glazed areas.

Would Vista be causing a problem?

As for a solution ...

Hello all SketchUp-ers!

SketchUP 8
VE - IES 6.2.0.1

Objective:
I am creating the model in SketchUP 8. I want to create a number of identical windows with the least amount of work. What I think I should do is draw a "raw" window and then make a "window component". The next step is to copy the ...

To respond to the first question - the thermal bridge option / tool is found :
> Apache Constructions Database > Settings > Thermal Bridging

Does anyone have any good resource material on using this option / tool? For example does VE automatically choose the where the respective thermal bridges ...

Hello All,

I have questions with regards to thermal bridges in VE. Does VE insert them automatically?
1) Where can I find this option / tool in VE?
2) Is there a document publicly available that clearly explains this option / tool?

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Hello VE Users / Support,

Has anyone done a comparison between the annual sensible heating / cooling - loads / consumptions between VE and other Building Simulators?

It seems to me that VE has a tendency to over estimate the heating loads. I have constructed an simple model in VE and ESP-r ...

Thanks vajindarladdad for the response.

Even with your help it is not "intuitive" finding the "Edit" drop-down! There is the formal "Edit" drop-down which does not contain this feature ... and then a little "drop-down" (surface-edit-component) beside the View Rotate command that contains the ...

Hello,

I have also noticed that VE tends to over estimate the Heating loads ... when it is compared to other BS programs (ESP-r). I notice a difference of 8% in my very simple example (with no internal gains). Has anyone else noticed this or have an explanation? (I have is I have also double ...

Hello VE Support,
I have a model that was designed in ModelIT. Now I want to change the vertex locations of some vertices (vertexes) of the walls. How can I re-position the vertices finely / accurately? I can currently accurately change the height of the model using the command > edit > selection ...

I discovered that this problem is directly related to running another building simulator at the same time as VE. The solution is not necessarily re-starting the computer but closing other building simulators.

Solution:
In short the solution was to restart my computer.

To solve the problem:
I downloaded an exemplar from the VE website. The exemplar experienced the same error while the Apache Simulation was executed. I restarted my computer and the error disappeared!

Any ideas of the origin of this ...
