Dear all
?
I create a new wall construction as according to ASHRAE. Now I want to assign it to all External walls. In my project I have more than 100 External wall. Is there any short method to assign my ASHRAE wall to all External walls.
?
Thanks

Aviruch,

Select an exterior surface and bring up its properties menu. Place the
cursor over the construction selection box and right click. Choose the
"Edit/View User Default" option. You will be shown a dialogue box with
three options:

Use DOE2 Default

User Defined Default Value

User Defined Default Expression

Select the button next to User Defined Default Value and make a wall type
selection from the drop down menu to the right. This will now be your
default exterior wall construction. All exterior walls that are assigned to
a DOE2 default construction (displayed in green) will now be automatically
changed to the User Defined Default and displayed in blue. Values that have
been changed by the wizard or by the user and are displayed in red will not
automatically change to the user default. If you want those values to
change to your new default, you will need to individually change them back.
To reset a value to default, right click on it and select "Restore Default".

Hope this helps.
