OpenStudio Inspector does not recognize Imported EnergyPlus Idf Constructions and Schedules

[eomere]

There are 2 features involved here. To access them:

• Extensions/OpenStudio/Import/Import EnergyPlus Idf Constructions
• Extensions/OpenStudio/Import/Import EnergyPlus Idf Schedules

After importing Constructions and Schedules from EnergyPlus Idfs, the number of OS:DefaultConstructionSet and OS:DefaultScheduleSet within the OpenStudio Inspector does not increase.

This issue is present within the Mac and Windows versions of the Plugin.

This works as expected IMHO.

It creates OS:Construction and OS:Schedule:XXX objects.

These can then be used in dropdowns that accept them, for eg by creating an OS:ConstructionSet yourself:

And assigning that to a field that expects an OS:Construction such as the Interior Partition Construction Name:

The downside for Schedule objects is that most IDF files use Schedule:Compact, and that's translated back to an OS:Schedule:Compact, while the OS:DefaultScheduleSet is looking for OS:Schedule:Ruleset instead.

Based on the above, can we close @eomere ?

This is very useful information. I wonder how it can be more explicitly conveyed to a User.

Please close if you feel that a User will understand how it works.
