Linking to roomID instead of room number

Post by KasperS »

Hello

It is very annoying when you create profiles that you want to link to a certain room, that the room link is the room number. If you suddenly have to change one of the first rooms, the rest of the links in the HVAC models doesnt work anymore because the room number has changed. Is it possible for you to change the software so you have to link to roomID instead of the number? This would make me more comfortable using the profiles where you link to others, because the architects i am working with, tend to change the rooms quite often, and it is very annoying to start over with the roomnumbers each time.

Hi,

That seems a fair suggestion, I've passed it on to the development team to see if it would be possible to implement. You'd still have to take care when editing geometry e.g. adding/removing rooms may result in changed ID's and so break references but in general I'd agree this would be more logical to use than the room number as the list could be reordered any time.
