  • Not much of the menu/UI working yet.
  • Still working on simplifying the core to get it to a stage where Mostapha Python coders feel it’s OK to hack.

I’ve been using it today to try and debug a OpenStudio model with geometrically incorrect zone surfaces. Thanks @TheoA, so far it’s fast, and intuitive to use. It seems you have surfaces and spaces being used, is there a plan/ can you also include thermal zone visualization?

@SaeranVasanthakumar

is there a plan/ can you also include thermal zone visualization?

Yes, yes, yes!

I assume you are asking about the Zone element in gbXML files.

If you look in the Reports menu item (in left menu ) you will see limited statistics on zones. The heads-up display (right menu ) shows nothing The code to display zones is there but is turned off.

The only - very simple - current hold back is that all the gbXML file samples we currently have access to either incorporate a single zone or have no zone elements,

Please, please, please supply some data samples. Without gbXML data file samples with good zone elements it is is really hard to do the testing let alone improve the user experience for working with zones. It would be great to have samples we can publish on GitHub as working test cases.

With a few samples we can get the code going to add, edit and delete zone, modify attributes and more.

Send samples soon!

Oh man, I wish I could provide my gbXML sample, unfortunately it’s an office project I’m not allowed to share, but maybe in the future. Thanks for explaining how to get the zone data!

@SaeranVasanthakumar

unfortunately it’s an office project I’m not allowed to share,

I understand.

Could you or one of your colleagues ( or anybody actually ) prepare a sample file with a just few gbXML spaces and zones? If you can do this, I should be able to help you visualize the zones one by one and much more.

This version is beginning to have support for Zones - in the left menu. I would be delighted to get any feedback.

Awesome, thanks! I’m working on another deadline at the moment, but I’ll try it out when I get the chance!
