Parametric Analysis Tool - Downselect Logic - Location Options

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to run the default project singlefamily-detached, but in a specific location. I read the documentation and it recommends the following : "Downselect Logic Logic that specifies the subset of the building stock to be considered in the analysis. Specify one or more parameter|option as found in the resources/options_lookup.tsv. (This uses the same syntax as the Apply Upgrade measure.) For example, if you wanted to only simulate California homes you could enter Location Region|CR11 in this field (CR refers to “Custom Region”, which is based on RECS 2009 reportable domains aggregated into groups with similar climates; see the entire custom region map)."

I have tried entering "Location Region| CR11" or "Location|AL_Birmingham.Muni.AP.722280". Both times when I run it, it has resulted in total datapoint failure. Is the format wrong? Should I instead manually change the weights in the location and location-region .tsv files under housing characteristics in the project folder.

Thanks in advance!
