The ENERCALC for Revit preferences menu is used to control a variety of settings. Each of these settings is discussed in complete detail in the appropriate section of this manual based on the processes they manage. The preferences are broadly separated into “Current Session” and “Active Model”. For cases where the user may have more than one Revit model open at the time, the active model name is indicated at the top of the menu. This is the Revit model to which “Active Model” preference changes will be applied. “Current Session” preferences are application-level settings that will apply to the behavior of ENERCALC for Revit in all open projects within the current instance of Revit.
The “Active Model” preferences are stored within the Revit model, while the session preferences are stored in memory during the session. If the session preferences are saved, they area stored in the Revit model along with the current user’s identity and can be retrieved in future sessions. In workshared projects, each individual user may store there own unique session preferences if desired.
