When I load the IDF into OpenStudio, the names go from nice things like “Classroom 1” to gibberish. In addition, space types aren’t assigned, so its hard to assign schedules and thermostats. In the Export Model Manager, on step 9, I added program types, which does apply the right loads to each spa…

Hi @eschwartz , great questions! [image] eschwartz: When I load the IDF into OpenStudio, the names go from nice things like “Classroom 1” to gibberish. In addition, space types aren’t assigned, so its hard to assign schedules and thermostats. This topic has come up a few times for the users w…

@antonellodinunzio reminded me that we also have some a built-in feature for renaming multiple rooms together.

I have a similar issue. I was able to get the space names to make sense if I exported directly from the “export model option” but if i bring it into snapshot manager to make some geometry edits then the accurate naming goes away. You mentioned that an update might be coming for that? When can we ex…

Hi @apoorvapradhan , If the case is urgent, save the snapshot as a DFJSON and send it to me, I can help with saving the cleaned version to OSM/IDF with display names. If you can wait for a few more days, we should be releasing the beta version by the end of the week that has all the export options …
