[esp-r] Re: beginner problem with modelling zones

[Jon Hand]

The good news is that you did nothing wrong. The zone was there but there was a bug that reset the
wire-frame viewing angle to zero.  Very frustrating and confusing to new users.

To see new zones in the 6265 version what you need to do is to locate the View pull
down menu at the top of the application and click on the wireframe control option
and then locate the view angle (near upper right side) and reset the zero to something
like 40 degrees.  The other fix is to exit from the project manager and re-open the
model and then you will see the zone.

There is a BETA version on the download site that corrects this glitch.

Subject: [esp-r]  beginner problem with modelling zones

Dear all,

I just started using ESP-r and I have a problem with modelling zones.
I successfully installed the native Windows version
(ESP-r_setup_native_windows_gtk_txt_v11_10_dev6265.exe).

But when defining a new zone with the rectangular plan with default (or any other) coordinates the wireframe isn't displayed.

So I decided to deinstall and installed an older version I downloaded a couple months ago
(ESP-r_setup_native_windows_gtk_txt_v11_9_trunk_GCC4.exe) . With this version it works and displays the wireframe!

So what did I do wrong, that the lastest version doesn't display the wireframes?

My second question is, if it is possible to use Phase Change Materials (special materials) within the native Windows version?

Thank you in advance!
kind regards,
Olivia
