Hi Everyone,

I was trying to use a openstudio measure to split windows into different section for ASHRAE90.1 2016 Midrise reference building. After importing the idf file to openstudio and exporting it (without using any measure for checking) it changes "Buildingsurface:Detailed" objects from 138 to 180 , Changes to zone name adding "thermal zone" in the end of all the zones and also changes the "Global Geometry Rules" causing the Azimuth of building surface (wall) and it's "sub-surface" to be 180 degree if each other.

I was curios if there was an option to select global geometry rules and also not to change the zone name while importing idf file to openstudio and then exporting it. (Else there are alot of references made to the thermal zone that needs to be edited).

Thanks, Niraj
