Unable to set the floor constructions

Rendy,

I would say that this can be a bug, but can't say 100%.

The thing is that your surface is defined as a ground floor. The HB_setEPZoneCnstr component don't allow to change ground floor construction, but only exterior floor (See attached, white group at the bottom). In the zone definition process the surface was defined as an interior floor (didn't find how to change this in the way you defined the zone).

I defined the zone differently (based on surfaces) and there i could change the surface type and the construction (see white group at the top of the file).

Hope this helps.

Rendy,

To change the construction of a ground floor, you should use the "Set EP Zone Ground Construction" component.

Abraham's method is also good and thank you for posting it, Abraham.  I think this alternative one should be a bit better in that it requires fewer components and is more manageable in cases of a large number of zones.

See updated GH file attached.
