Hugo,

Define a new day type (called 'holiday' say) from the calendar function,
then associate the vacation period to this day type. Once you exit from
the context menu it will ask you to confirm saving the new day type in
operations and control files, choose to save the files. Go into zone
operations to view/edit gains and air flows for the new day type and go
into controls to view/edit controls. This confirms you have the
additional day type.

Regards,
Aizaz
