Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community
 | 1 | initial version |
@macumber made a new view data measure that works in the OpenStudio workflow, but in the end is show SQL results from EnergyPlus. It uses input render modes unique to OpenStudio models like space type and story, however It could be adapted to work on an IDF file, or you could use the OpenStudio API to translate the IDF to an OSM. The measure above is meant for looking at results. There is also a [view model (https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/82771) measure that doesn't have access to the SQL file. Here is a video of it being demonstrated
If you just want to view geometry without results, EnergyPlus can export a DXF file. There should be a number of web based DXF viewers. AutoDesk used to have a free one, but may be subscription now.
