I can define a single space with windows on one wall. I can then change the orientation of the model to analyse the space in other directions. Unfortunately, the LEED report does not update the directions in the Fenestration Properties, Surface list. The Design Performance metrics clearly show the space has been rotated but my clients ask why the direction of the Surface with glazing always faces West in the four cardinal direction reports.

I get it but Architects are a fussy bunch.

Hi Chris,

Good catch, the ability to rotate a model greater than +/-45° (by request) came after the daylighting reports were made and I never noticed this issue. I will put it on the list and perhaps a fix will make it into v5.02 which is in the works and should be released in a couple weeks with lots of cool new features.

Regards,

Zack
