Arch00003.pngEnergos basic project settings: Setup pane

The Setup pane establishes the basic building site location and main project settings.

Creating custom location sets

Instead of using one of the default locations and its associated climate information, detailed climate information sets can be specified and edited, and then the climate information from one of the custom locations can be selected for use instead of heliodon climate information.

To specify custom location sets:

1.      From the Setup pane, click Advanced Location.

The Advanced Location dialog box opens.

2.Click Custom and select Edit List from the Custom list.

The Edit Location List dialog box opens.

3.Click New to create a new system, or select a system and click Edit or Duplicate.

       If a new system is to be created, or a currently selected system is duplicated, the New System dialog box opens. Select an existing system set for the system, or slick Save to a System Set and specify a new system set name.

       If a default system is selected for editing, you are prompted to duplicate it; default systems cannot be edited. New or edited systems are saved in the user folder.

The Edit Location Information dialog box opens.

4.Click OK when the custom location information has been added or edited.

5.In the Edit Location List dialog box, select the system to use. Click Close.

6.In the Advanced Location dialog box, the custom system is selected.

7.On the Setup pane of the Energos Project Settings dialog box, the project location displays as being determined by an advanced location (overriding the heliodon location), and the location name displays below the list.
