The result may be stored as "simple" glass construction and shading. [Beta 7] + Zooming 3D view with mouse wheel + More options for duration diagram Display "over" and "under" times for. [Beta 8] + Carpet plot + Custom time schedules (e.g. from source files) may be defined in control macros + Added a column with sensible cooling load [Beta 9] + New ICE site (Download & Info Center). Redesign of the help menu and process guide. + Additional shading objects (fixed shade, fixed fins) may be inserted into face in 3D view + Allow user-defined signals in AHU and Plant proxy + Logging and animation of window integrated shading control [Beta 10] + Export systems to IDA Viewer (not openable in IDA Modeler) [Beta 11-15] + Using "Mode" dialog to insert features in floor plan (double-click feature in palette to open dialog; click multiple place to insert; Ok button to exit mode) + Carpet plot + Shading objects (without control) may be insertion into faces (in 3D view) + Shading transparency [without diffusion and reflection] + Fixed logging local AHUS and fan coils to Systems report + For detailed window: Calculate parameters at reference conditions with possibility to save results as simple glazing and shading + More detailed categories of enclosing elements in the table "Zone totals" and in the input data report + New fan coil: CAV. Removed "Undefined" fan coil. + Solar panel: added temperature limit [Beta 16] + Shading transparency [without diffusion and reflection] also for imported objects + Improved animation controls Changes in models and functions called from models ================================================== + TankStrat Shunt not used in very first IV. + SyntClim Fixed calculation of RelHum + CEDETZON New option for MiscMeasure: XCO2Vol CESIMZON + CESIMZON Allow negative CO2FSrcEquip + MLEAK New option: given flow + WitType Excluded error when not connected with DetWin model + StInjCtr Defined default binding for input signals + CELVO Fixed time constant for caclulation density CELHO (default value = 30s) MLVO MLHO + DETWIN Fixed expression for Nu[i], was SIN(degrees) Fixed bugs ========== + Internal shading of floors did not work properly when compass or building is rotated + Bug in "paste here" building body + The local cooling and heating was reported twice in the diagram "zone energy sources" + Fixed some license bugs + Fixed bug in generating facades form IFC + Fixed logging of output signal from schedule - did not work with "always_on" and "always_off" schedules + Fixed "Call of undefined ASK-USER-FOR-CHOICE-FROM-LIST" + Fixed symbol of interface reference in control macro (was lost in version project) + Fixed changing occupant type in ESBO + Fixed copying plot line of operative temperature + Fixed crash in calc-part-sizes + Fuxed clothing in design load dialog (did not work) + Avoid crash when importing IFC file with too complicated roof + Fixed reloading resources from DB - in case when the new resources use other DB entities that are not yet loaded (e.g., new version of wall construction requires loaning new materials) + Fixed moving building body relative to the ground level (for editable body only) + Disabled zero design air flow for active beams (unless the power is also zero) [Beta 2] + Fixed comfort report for >1 year sumulation + Fixed checking mixture of window models + Fixed bugs in refreshing view while making grid of windows + Fixed exporting protected PRN files to Excel [Beta 5] + Error in shading of double glass façade (also as patch ICE 4.5) + Removed limit of length of command line (was 256 characters) + Fixed plugging of flow variables when removing a connection in sub-macro + Fixed default value in VAV cooling fan coil + Fixed error message about missing climate file + Windows inserted into faces that are partially adjacent to other body parts did not work. Now fixed + Variable setpoints stored in version project file did not work. Now fixed + Fixed loss of text of the x-Axis of duration diagram with weight schedule + Fixed bug with shading of diffuse light [Beta 7] + Fixed crash in case of error in license + Fixed error when the path name of the current folder was too long [Beta 14] + Fixed bug with shading from imported objects
