When building a new model, I want to be able to reuse built schedules/materials/etc.
I've seen there are several ways of doing this, right now I'm using the Sketchup plugin for importing construction, schedules and space loads. But i.e. materials cannot be imported this way. Right now I'm solving this by searching through the compiled .idf file for materials, pasting these in a seperate .idf file, and importing that in Sketchup.
Another way could be to open an existing .osm file in notepad, and compile templates for materials/schedules etc, which can be pasted into a new .osm file.
Which is the preferred way?
