Virtual wall Properties

Contains controls used to view properties for virtual wall surface types. Virtual wall surfaces are wall sections with no physical construction. They are created to allow a room to have its separate portions belong to different building zones. The virtual wall contains properties that all surface sub-types share as well as properties specific to the virtual wall sub-type.

The Properties For: Virtual wall dialog opens when the Virtual wall Project Tree object´s pop-up menu is activated in the OpenBuildings Energy Simulator Project Tree dialog and the Properties menu item is selected.
