Data Type-Specific Input with Parameters
This section shows you step by step how to enter data-type specific values with input parameters in the Value Input dialog in order to assign fixed values to parameters using an output parameter.
Before you begin
You want to assign a fixed value to a parameter, e.g., R-values for different floor coverings, so that you do not have to enter the values manually.
Requirements
You know the two parameters (input and output parameter) that you want to use and have created them yourself if necessary. The parameters must be assigned to a property set, otherwise they will not be available for assignment in the Value Input dialog. The input parameter(s) is/are preassigned with values in the room data sheet.
Navigate to
Module Overview ➤ Room Data Sheet ➤ 
Data-Type Specific Value Input (Toolbar)
Procedure
- Click on the button
to the right of the field for the Input Parameters. A context menu opens in which the available parameters are listed grouped into categories and property sets.
- Select one or more Input Parameters.
The selected parameters are in the Input Parameters field and listed with the values available in the room data sheet in the Input Parameters column.
- Select an Output Parameter in the same way as you selected an Input Parameter.
The selected parameter is transferred to the Output Parameter field. Any existing values for the Output Parameter are displayed in the Values for Output Parameter column and otherwise listed with the value zero.
- In the Values for Output Parameter column, enter values for the assignment to the respective value of the Input Parameters or overwrite them.
- Click the Apply Values button.
Results
The value assignment has been carried out and transferred to the room data sheet. In all rooms with values for the Input Parameters, the defined value has been automatically entered for the Output Parameter.
