I have been using eppy for idf manipulation and it has been working well referring to eppy documentation.
However, I have problem specifying fields with "-".
For example X-Coordinate of Reference Point in Daylighting:ReferencePoint or Vertex 1 X-coordinate in BuildingSurface:Detailed.
Does anyone know how I should deal with - in fields using eppy?
The following will set the X coordinate of the reference point to 0:
daylgtctrl = idf_file.idfobjects["Daylighting:ReferencePoint".upper()][0]
daylgtctrl.XCoordinate_of_Reference_Point = 0
Daylighting:ReferencePoint,
Core_Retail_DaylRefPt1, !- Name
Core_Retail, !- Zone Name
0, !- XCoordinate of Reference Point
14.2, !- YCoordinate of Reference Point
0.0; !- ZCoordinate of Reference Point
You can also get all field names of an object are by using .fieldnames:
daylgtctrl.fieldnames
['key',
'Name',
'Zone_Name',
'XCoordinate_of_Reference_Point',
'YCoordinate_of_Reference_Point',
'ZCoordinate_of_Reference_Point']
If you know the index of the field, you can use it instead of its name as such:
daylgtctrl[daylgtctrl.fieldnames[3]] = 0
Daylighting:ReferencePoint,
Core_Retail_DaylRefPt1, !- Name
Core_Retail, !- Zone Name
0, !- XCoordinate of Reference Point
14.2, !- YCoordinate of Reference Point
0.0; !- ZCoordinate of Reference Point
