What is the Tabular Building Template Manager?
The Tabular Building Template Manager (Tabular BTM) allows you to rapidly inspect any building templates in your models. It provides access to a similar set of data to that available in the standard Building Template Manager, but provides the information in a modeless, tabular form. This means that the information for the building templates is displayed automatically and does not prevent you from working with the model.
In addition to providing a fast and efficient way for you to edit template attributes in your model, the Tabular BTM provides a number of other useful features:
- Customizable columns, allowing you to choose exactly which variables you want to see
- Sorting, allowing you to sort all grid data either ascending or descending by any column
- Filtering, allowing you to only display templates which pass one or more different criteria
- Export and Import of displayed building templates, allowing you to externally edit the values for your building templates (e.g. using Microsoft Excel) and then re-import the changes to automatically apply them to your model.
