Adding airloop to Rooftop VAV with Reheat system

Similar question to Packaged Rooftop VAV w/Reheat

I am trying to add an additional airloop to a packaged VAV with Reheat system.

My intention is to add another AHU and connect it to the chilled water loop and also the hot water loop.

New airloop setup is no worries until I add an AirTerminal Single Duct VAV Reheat object. This AirTerminal object references a hot water coil by name. The name of that coil is the one and same making its self well known in the .err That hot water coil is not visible under My Model and Library lists, which stymies my intuition to drop it on the Hot Water Loop

I've tried a few things

  1. add a hot water coil to the Hot Water Loop by drag n drop from Library and then reference that coil in the AirTerminal object defintion. No joy there.
  2. Navigate away and come back to the HVAC Systems page, hoping a refresh might show up the missing hot water coil object
    1. Turned my computer off and on again

Question time. Is the basic idea sound ? i.e if you wanted to have a few AHUs on a chilled water and hot water loop, is this a reasonable approach ? Why is the hot water coil referenced by the AirTerminal not visible, drag and droppable ? Is there a measure for that ?
