Custom Create DOE prototype building measure

Dear all,

I would like to create a custom measure, where I apply all the code of the Create DOE prototype measure to my osm file except for the part where the geometry of my osm is changed. In other words I want to keep the original geometry of my osm file while still applying the measure.

Is this possible?

I tried to do this by modifying the Prototype.Model file in the openstudio-standards to contain a new create_prototype_building method (called create_prototype_building_TOCore) which is exactly the same as the create_prototype_building method except for the fact that the load_geometry method is not called.

My new measure calls the create_prototype_building_TOCore method instead of the create_prototype_building method.

The code compiles but when I look in the output folder that the measure creates there is simply nothing there.

Any pointers or suggestions on the best way to approach this would be greatly appreciated.
