Hi
I downloaded a revit file and shared parameter txt from the PPG web site. The shared parameter file seems to indicate PPG has associated glass physical attributes with their glass types. The revit file is a whole bunch of PPG glass panels set in a generic curtain wall. However, the glass in the revit file isn't picking up the parameter file's parameters. Does anyone have experience with this?

Did you load the shared parameters in to the Project as well?

Aaron:
Yes, I subsequently pointed the file to the .txt file. Unfortunately, the actual glass panels don't have values for things like % transmittance. I think PPG posted its glass in order to have their glass render correctly, not be amenable to daylighting analysis.
