OS:Output:Variable, {43b135e2-d424-4d12-80bb-4e407821e22b}, !- Handle Output Variable 14, !- Name *, !- Key Value Zone Ideal Loads Supply Air Total Cooling Rate, !- Variable Name Hourly; !- Reporting Frequency

I want to add a "Category" tag to the OS:Output:Variable so that i can categorize the types... I updated the openstudio core for the variable but it didnt shop up on the application . Can anyone help to show how to add a new key value pair...

Are you simply wanting to attach a user-specified key/value to this OS object? If so, you can use the AdditionalProperties capability as described here for example.

I modified the code in the ReverseTranslator.cpp ...

model::OutputVariable var("Surface Average Face Conduction Heat Gain Rate", *result); var.setKeyValue(subSurface.name().get()); var.setReportingFrequency(interval); var.additionalProperties().setFeature("Category", "Others");

but i get the error : see declaration of 'openstudio::model::AdditionalProperties' use of undefined type 'openstudio::model::AdditionalProperties'
