OS 1.10 Inspector and encoding
I upgraded OS 1.10 today. However, I am not able to modify/add many objects like compact schedule anymore. It is like the functions for flexibility is worsen in new OS. Have any other way to access the same objects like before?
Which font should I encode .idf text for OS import ? Many times when i try to import/export idf file - the object name are groups of unknown characters.
As for the encoding, what is your systems default location and language? OSM files are written in UTF-8 without BOM. Using this encoding should work for both OSM and IDF.
Hello, i set all seting system regional setting to US. Follow is what i get when i try open .osm file by notepad++ with UTF encoding:
if i create an idf file and try to import idf schedule. The name of imported schedule is also unreadable. How to fix problem ?
Those fields with braces and numbers are not due to font problems, that is the actual content of the file. The OSM format gives every object a handle which is a GUID. When objects refer to each other they do so by referencing the handle instead of the name as in IDF. This makes the OSM format less human readable but the OSM file is not really meant to be modified manually in text editor, it is meant to be modified using the OpenStudio API.
The rest of the ScheduleCompact fields in OSM should be human readable
