Heliodon is buggy in VW 2020 sp2
Patrick Fritsch replied to Patrick Fritsch's question in Troubleshooting
Yoo Hoo! over there at VW...got some catching up to do. Kind of an important tool to drop the ball on for a couple years! -
Created a heliodon and then changed it classes, it showed up fine in the OIP but something stuck with the originbal class I created it on. If I turned it off, I then lost all shadows. In viewports that did not have the original creation class active, shadows were lost and heliodon disapeared in the Visualisation Palette. Solution was to change it back and forth between classes and magically got fixed....only wasted 2 hours trying to figure it out. Geez! Ok wrong, back at it again and it was following another class, but solution was the most obvious (Friggin Occam's Razor!); delete old heliodons and just create new ones!

Can someone at VW tell me what method is Energos using to calculate the U-Value of wall/slab styles, Effective or Nominal? I know it’s pulling the lamba for each component but not sure how it’s adding them up...I suspect Nomimal as framing type and spacing is not specified in the styles. If so I will just use the U Value override with my own effective calcs until this can be done in Energos. Thanks

What is a Beta Undo Alert 9?
Patrick Fritsch replied to Kevin McAllister's question in Troubleshooting
Got the same message here...quite bizarre ! -
Is there any future development planned for Energos? Currently I see a lack of; Usage documentation explaining each input parameter. Advanced training webinars or Service select training. Real world compliance certification with any Environmental Design standards (Even the ones available in the dropdown menu are not certified) Here in British Columbia Canada, we now have the BC Step Code https://energystepcode.ca/about/ that we need to comply to. So Energos would need to have been tested with ANSI/ASHRAE 140 "Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs". Kiddy up VW! This ball of mud is melting as it spins!

Add to your list that it does not makes sense to have the control handles for up/down text on same floor, should be controllable on each respective floor...it's like a guessing game position the upper floors text currently. see attached.
