Model Data Grid View

Accessed from Tools menu

The Model Data Grid View tools allows the current building model data to be viewed using a grid. It is possible to select from a range of "layouts" which define which data is to be displayed.

Viewing the building model data in a grid provides a global view of the data across the whole model and makes comparisons between settings for different parts of the model much easier than when using the usual model data input screen.

Management Dialog

The Model Data Grid View tools are all accessed from the main Model Data Grid View Management dialog which is launched from the toolbar icon or from the Tools menu and is active for the current building in the model. The Model Data Grid View tools are available at building level and below, but are not available from site level.

The title of the dialog identifies the currently selected analysis type. The dialog presents a list of layouts which are:

• Filtered to those that are compatible with the current model’s currently selected Analysis type.
• Grouped by the level for at which they display data e.g. Building, Zone, Surface, Opening.
• Indicated as "System" or "User" under the Layout Type column.

The management dialog provides tools to access 2 different areas of functionality:

• Model Data – with View / Edit / Import buttons which can be used to access the model data itself.
• Layout Management – with New / Edit / Copy / Delete buttons which can be used to manage and modify the layouts, i.e. the definitions of which model data is to be shown.
