Energos revert to R-Value display after each app restart (units settings)

[drelARCH]

We prefer to have U-value as a 'Display' for Energos under Units settings. 

Vectorworks after each program restart revert to R-Value.

 

Will this be fixed for SP3?

Hi @drelARCH,

You can customize the default "Display" in Libraries\Defaults\Energy Analysis\EnergyUnits.xml. If you change:
<UValue>
    <IsUsed>true</IsUsed>
  </UValue>

@KIvanovthis is actually a bug. It's meant to be a Document Setting, but if I set this under File > Document Settings > Units > Energos > Display to U-value and then restart Vectorworks, it switches itself back to R-value.

Thanks for adding this as a bug. We will analyse it.

So in my SP3 update, I can switch to U-value, and in the 'shape' Object Info, it now gives me the U-value figure - but still calls it 'Calc R-value'. Not a big problem when you remember that's what it is doing, but not ideal, I keep on wasting time double-checking it really is the U-value!

Ah yes, I spotted that too but forgot to post a bug. Thanks for reminder. I'll tag this onto the previous bug.
