I was wondering if anyone has been able to create an export into WUFI where Apertures were grouped together?
I want to group together windows of the same type (ie. operable/non-operable windows, number of shared mullions, storefront/regular, size) and have them as grouped components in my WUFI export to make it easier to adjust later. Otherwise, I would have to manually ungroup all the windows and assign them individually or select each one and group them together in WUFI.
If you set the _group_components option to ‘True’ on the WUFI output settings, it will group the components based on the Honeybee-Construction assigned to the apertures:
I basically just want to have these apertures as their own WUFI component. I also separated out the following window types by layer in case it would be helpful, but any way to separate these would work
So just give them the same Honeybee-Energy construction and set _group_components to True and they will come into WUFI as a single component with multiple sub-faces.
