Hello, I cant seem to change the material properties (ie. density, specific heat, thickness etc.) to the values that I want, as they just keep reversing automatically back to the original values. I do not know if that affects the other parts of the programme as well (seems like it locked somehow). I have no idea what can cause this... Can someone help out? Thanks

OpenStudio Version 1.14.00 Under Constructions-tab if I want to create a new material(or change an exisiting one), it doesnt allow me to change its properties (thickness, density etc.). If I leave this tab and come back to it, the changes are not saved and the original values appear.

Could be your operating system's region settings for decimal separator: https://unmethours.com/question/12233...

What values are you trying to change to? The reason I ask is that there are limits to different properties in EnergyPlus and OpenStudio will react to out of range value by reverting back to theprevious value. If you give us a few specific examples we can try to replicate it.
