Question on Diffuser Property Sets and Diffuser schedules

[Anonymous]

I can create a custom property set definition for Air Terminals that will
extract and reflect the Flow amount entered in the MvParts property dialog,
and include this in a diffuser schedule.

However the default content doesn't appear to do this. Whether I tag a
diffuser with a stock diffuser tag, the flow value that is input is not the
same value that is being input in the MvParts Dialog.

I guess my question is, what is the point of inputting an amount in the
"Flow" tab of the MvParts dialog if it's not used in the diffuser schedule
or tag? Or... why don't the tags and the schedules use that value?

Hi Matt -

What tag are you using? Both the Air Terminal Tag (Qty) and the Air Terminal
Tag do use an automatic property.

Sorry... bad day. I was using the "diffuser tag". I drug an air terminal tag
from content browser and all is well.

Simple matter of using the right tool for the job...
