model options

All Model Options are stored in the DesignBuilder dsb file and so any changes you make to the model configuration will not affect other models.

You can open the Model Options dialog by:

• Clicking on the spanner icon on the toolbar (above).
• From the Edit menu.
• Pressing F11.

All Model Options are stored in a single dialog but the options you can access depend on where you are in the model hierarchy.

Some model options are stored at the site level:

• Options on the Display and Drawing tools tabs

Most model options are stored at the building level:

• Options on the Data, Advanced, Heating design, Cooling design, Simulation, Project details and Carbon tabs

and some are stored at block level:

• Options on the Block tab.

So if you open the Model Options dialog when you are at building level you will not be able to access the Block Model Options. Likewise if you are at site level you will only be able to access the Display and Drawing tools tabs.
