Is there a method for modeling a triple glaze unit with two different spacer heights? Or are both always going to be dictated by one height dimension? Thanks!

Found the answer while digging through the THERM/WINDOW Simulation Manual and thought I'd share in case anyone else had the same question (pgs 8-76 and 8-76 for reference).
Under the lLibraries drop-down menu there is an option called "Create Link". If you select the area that should be the glazing cavity, select the "Create Link" option, your cursor will turn into an eye dropper. Select the cavity that you wish to extend and the are you had highlighted will take on the properties of said cavity.
Hope this helps!

You can also edit the geometry of the glazing system cavity if you need to.
With this option checked, you can change the configuration of the glazing cavity to what is needed for the different spacer heights.
Page 8-26 in the Simulation Manual shows an example of changing the geometry of the glazing cavity.
And as mentioned, you can also link the glazing cavity to other polygons.
