Surface Editor window
Surface Editor is used to maintain properties of surface. This window is displayed as part of Surfaces window.
| Surface name | Name of surface. It is used for documentation purpose. |
| α (alpha) | Defines the thermal transfer coefficient of the surface. |
| RS | Defines the thermal transfer resistance of the surface. RS = 1 / α |
| New | Adds a new entry to the surface list and selects it for editing. |
| Delete | Deletes the currently selected surface from surface list. |
| Prev. | Selects previous surface in the surface list for editing. |
| Next | Selects next surface in the surface list for editing. |
Important: Changes to surface properties in the project specific surface list do not automatically propagate to properties of construction elements. Applying new surface properties to selected elements must be done explicitly - either by a double-click onto a list item or via a drag-drop operation from the surface list.
Note: You shall switch between input fields by using the TAB-key. Using that key confirms the data entry. On the other hand it provides a good alternative compared to permanent mouse use.
