Has anyone been able to successfully import more than geometry from E+/OS to IES-VE? I have been trying for a while but it seems we can only import the geometry. I even tried exploring a Python script to do a basic HVAC system translation and assignment such as; assigning system 4 to zones 1 to 22 and system 6 to zones 23 to 30; however, it is not working. I know this is a bit of an open-ended question to the community, but I am sure it is totally worth the exploration.

I'm pretty sure that's not currently possible. Your best bet is probably something like this using the gbXML+ schema and IESVE import capability (although I haven't used that myself). You can't currently create HVAC systems in IESVE using the Python API, but you could create various space grouping schemes to expedite assignment to systems once you import them. You can also create/assign groups in a spreadsheet by copy/pasting in and out of the tabular space edit dialog which is likely faster if you're not a Python wiz.
