![]() ![]() However if the Insulation Option was desired to be a R2.7 Insulation Batt (not contained within the standard Insulation Options), we could model this by typing “2.7” within the Insulation cell and hitting ⌨ Enter. The standard Insulation Options for this Assembly are shown in the Insulation column of the Wall Data-Grid. When typing in a R-value into the insulation column, if there is an existing Insulation Option for that Assembly that matches the entered R-Value it will use that Insulation Option, otherwise a new Fibreglass Insulation Option of the desired R-Value is created, assigned to the wall and added to that Wall Construction’s Insulation Option List.Į.g: in a Project with a Brick Veneer with Non-Reflective Sarking Type Construction. You can select an existing Insulation Option by using the combo-box drop-down menu or you can type in the desired R-value in the table’s cell and hit enter or for more complicated options you can create a New Insulation Option within the Wall Builder for that assembly. The Insulation Options available for that Wall Assembly will be shown in the Insulation column. Wall Data-Grid Construction Column & Wall Construction Library ![]() When we change the assembly to Single Brick, the Insulation gets set to the default “No Insulation” option for that Single Brick Assembly. The Currently Selected Wall Assemblies from the Construction Library will be shown within the Drop-down of this column’s entries and a new type can be selected.Į.g: If the User was changing from a Brick Veneer wall with R2.0 insulation to a Single Brick Wall that has no Insulation Options in its list. The Wall Construction Library tutorial provides further detail on Wall Assemblies & Insulation Options, and how Assemblies & Insulation Options can be edited or custom created.Ī Wall’s Construction in the Project is shown & can be changed within the Wall Data-Grid’s Construction column. ![]() In Hero the function of Assembly & Insulation is separated so that the User has flexibility to change & test various Insulation types quickly for each Assembly & quickly optimise the passive design aspects of the house as well as for its use as an important reporting metric. Walls also have an optional Insulation Option which is the insulation materials specifically for that wall section that get added in addition to its Assembly materials. ![]() Not editable directly (based on Assembly + Insulation)Ī Wall has a Construction or Assembly which is the construction build-up of that wall, including its external cladding, internal surface & any other materials within the assembly. The Insulation Type can be changed for the Insulation Material to a Type that more closes matches available Products on the market, such as changing from Fibreglass to Rockwool or EPS. Ignored as its impact on the model will generally be quite slight – only effecting the shade object projections slightly as these projections are based on distance to outside face of wall by typically less than 25mm or Hero are working on a solution to this but in the meantime this difference can either be: Selecting the Wall within the Visual-View or Data-Grid and pressing ⌨ Delete orīy using the Right-Click Context-menu Delete action within the Visual View īy Right-Clicking a Wall Point & choosing the Delete Point action.ĭue to the limitations of the NatHERS Insulation Materials, Walls can sometimes be different Thickness to their actual construction Thickness for the given R-value & Insulation Type. Select the Wall on top and choose the Right-Click Context Menu -> Send To Back feature and the previously selected Wall on top will now be below any other Walls. The Send to Back feature can also be very useful for Walls particularly when special Floating Walls are aligned over the top of other Walls, so that you can select the desired Wall. Walls also share the common context-menu actions of Select Parent (which will select the Parent Zone of the Wall) which can also be called by Double Left-Clicking the Wall. You can Select a Wall either within the Visual View or the Data-Grid. WALLS WITHIN THE VISUAL VIEW Selecting a Wall E.g: If you changed a Wall away from the Default Assembly to a Fibre-Cement Wall that is 2450mm high, then the next Zone created will have the new Wall Assembly as Fibre-cement at 2450mm height. ![]()
