It can be useful to be able to import components and templates set up outside DesignBuilder to models. This page explains how to do it. The process is not fully documented and requires a willingness to experiment, but in most cases it is fairly straightforward. The recommended process is as follows:
Schedule:Compact,
7:00 - 18:00 Mon - Fri,
Fraction,
Through: 31 Dec,
For: Weekdays SummerDesignDay WinterDesignDay,
Until: 07:00, 0
Until: 18:00, 1,
Until: 24:00, 0,
For: Weekends,
Until: 24:00, 0,
For: AllOtherDays,
Until: 24:00, 0 ;
