Hi there,
is that possible to change the existing room height (especially on the midle floor rooms) on energy simulator rather than redraw it?
Hi Maitiniyazi,
The ability to alter existing room height has been logged with development, and I will add your request to raise the priority of this. The only way of changing a rooms height at present would be to merge the room with one above.

Thank you and I hope it can be sorted ASAP becasue I been finding this software difficult and time-consuming to complete even a simple model. And this is heavily affecting our project progress.
Thank you!
I can confirm that I have logged this accordingly for you and it is now being assessed by product development. On another note, update 9 will be released shortly, which should assist with other issues as it includes many fixes and some new workflows according to user feedback.
Thank you so much
Hello,
We are also having the same issue. This is heavily affecting our work progress even with the small scale projects. I can see that this issue has been raised in January 2022 and it is now December 2022 so an entire year has gone past and yet nothing has been updated.
Hi Mohammed,
Thank for your feedback I will also convey this to product management.
For some insight into this matter, adding the change height option is something that has been considered and investigated at length by the product team, as we are aware of it's importance to our users.
I can understand that this appears to be a simple, single property for a room, which should be straightforward enough to enable - however from the software's point of view it would be deceptively complex.
The simple part is the height and volume of the room itself, however there is also the adjacent partitions, ceilings and internal floors to consider. The only way of regenerating all of these adjacencies to the rooms new dimensions is for the software to effectively delete and redraw the room itself in the background. This inevitably would take a while to process and users would then be wondering why such a simple change is taking several minutes to complete.
For our developers to re-write the software to make this performance of the above acceptable, the resources required means that that other urgent work cannot receive attention - for example update 10 has just come out, in which they have been urgently getting latest Part L SBEM engine and are working on approval for that, TM52 simulations have been progressing, completed ductwork sizing has been made available, to name a few.
Recently there was also the new roof setup interface, which will allow you to change the heights of the uppermost rooms.
All of this is not to say that the change room height is not being considered, just thought it might help you understand the reasons for the delay you mention.
